I got an email calling me for the next phase of testing. I emailed them to say my wife is pregnant and now over due,could I be considered for the next time around. Heard nothing back but wasn't really expecting anything back. Is that my chances gone completely?

I'd say they may keep you on the list. But what are the odds that they'll fill all the positions with this second round?

I also spotted a woman driver the other week, looked like she was being mentored. I know they were looking for women but not sure what mix of male/female they had hired.

Im in a similar position to you. I emailed to say I am out of the country the week the assessment dates were offered. They never responded either way.

Congrats on the new arrival.

Big day today, just getting ready to head to dublin.
If I'm lucky enough to get a role is all training done in dublin even if you're based on the other side of the country?

All done in Dublin. If for example your role will be based in Galway you do mentoring from there.

Best of luck. My hubby went on Monday and they gave the impression things would be moving swiftly going forward.

Is this next round of tests just TRFS, TRP(p2) and rWce?
Or will they be running more RAAT and SCAAT tests on the day as well?

Refs trp and rWce

We were told we should hear back by tomorrow as they're ramping up in a big way

seanbrady49 · 26-09-2019 10:48AM

Has anyone got an email yet?
We were told we'd hear back either last night or today.
TBH I dont think I did well at all.

Mdud55 · 26-09-2019 11:13AM

Done phase 1 on Monday got an email yesterday around 3:30 inviting me to phase 2 next week

My Assesment was at 3:30 yesterday.
Guess it's a waiting game for me.

Husband did phase 1 on Monday and heard about half three on Tuesday that through to phase 2. Hopefully you'll hear same today.

markmmmm · 26-09-2019 05:09PM

Done phase 1 today at 3.30pm just got email at 6.00pm to say I've made it to phase 2,if that helps anyone waiting to find out.

Effects · 26-09-2019 05:25PM

I thought I had tested badly, but just checked my email and I've made it through to the next round.

seanbrady49 · 26-09-2019 05:31PM

Ah well, looks like I'm out so, Congrats folks, best of luck for phase 2 and onwards.

No, no email, was alluded to yesterday that if you haven't heard by today its unlikely you got through.

Didn't know that

I'll still keep my fingers crossed.

markmmmm · 26-09-2019 08:00PM

They said this evening or tomorrow you should hear back so you never know.

markw7 · 28-09-2019 11:53AM

Did anyone get a rejection email yet?

Done phase 1 on wed @13:00, still no word and they said they'd let us know by friday the latest

Effects · 28-09-2019 12:44PM

I think if you haven't heard you are progressing to Phase 2 then it means you haven't passed Phase 1.
They said it might take a while to let everyone know who didn't pass. They didn't mention anything about Friday to our group.

markw7 · 28-09-2019 01:27PM

Yea was thinking that myself. Poor form not letting people know, don't really care about the feedback on the tests just a sorry not this time would do.

Effects · 28-09-2019 02:54PM

Well they did say if you didn't hear anything that you can take that as your answer.
Maybe they are holding off in case some Phase 2 people don't make the assessments next week, or change their mind. Then they can go back to borderline Phase 1 people and bring them forward.

markw7 · 28-09-2019 03:08PM

Didn't say anything about not hearing back to us, good luck with phase 2.

Mdud55 · 30-09-2019 05:23PM

Anyone here do phase 2 today? How did it go? I’ve got mine tomorrow. Any time frame given as to when ye will hear back from this phase?

Effects · 01-10-2019 10:46AM

Good luck with your Phase 2. Let us know how you got on.

annor99 · 01-10-2019 05:47PM

My husband did his today too. They weren't very clear as to when they would be letting people know. Possibly a week or two. Hope yours went ok mdud.
