Boss20, I would write N/A in the spaces that are just not applicable for you. From experience, it's always better to show that you have read the question and u think it's not applicable to you, rather than them assuming that you might have just skipped it by mistake OR it not being applicable to you. Good luck

This is good advice - it is what I did on my forms. You'll have a sore hand by the end of it, but you'll also have the peace of mind that you haven't accidentally left anything out.

Now I'm doubting how I filled the form in and if i missed sections, christ! Why is this psychological torture....

Mate I'm the same, I'm wondering whether I wrote N/A or just left them blank. It's nerve wrecking.

I mean I filled out each section it told me to, but if I answered a question then I didn't think I would need N/A for other bits. It's a bit like dissecting an exam after GCSE ahaha.

Hey, don't worry guys. I've had a CTC vetting a few times now and if they need something, they will get back to you (usually through the requesting organisation) to let you know what further information they need. In my case, i had missed giving job details for jobs i had around 8 to 10 years ago and they just got back to the requesting organisation (my employer) who then got back to me, requesting this info and then provided it back to them. Just keep calm and things will start happening soon

i keep telling that to myself as well, waiting on the A/C results

Do not panic on the vetting, they will come back to you if they require more info, and if some of you are like me its a long process, I have been security cleared twice to work within prison settings across NI and my vetting has been away 11 months coming. so my advice is chill lol

I think it’s mostly people worrying about appearing dishonest when in reality they have made a mistake or forgotten to put down a YouTube account not used in 5 years or something lol

I can't believe yours is still pending. I honestly thought you wouldn't be too far behind me. I would give them a call. That's what I did and literally a few days later I got called for an interview.

Those who received their vetting forms - can you advise if there is a set date to have it returned by or how long you have to complete and return.

Thanks

Sending you a PM if thats ok

Vetting has just requested additional financial info from me.

The form states summary of personal summary of finance

Would you assume it’s me alone and not my over spending partner lol

Oh for sure, unending uncertainty.

Columbo1234 · 03-11-2020 2:37pm

What kind of info are they asking for on the additional financial forms? I have a couple of defaults so I think I will get one too.

Cheers mate. Thanks for info. Much appreciated.

Paulo345 · 04-11-2020 4:11pm

Anyone know how long to wait for vetting before contacting recruitment? Been a month for me and still nothing back from them

Hey I’m afraid many people can take months on months. Have even heard of people waiting 11 months.

If they need anything they will contact you! Plus if you email they will prob just say it’s pending. Fingers crossed we haven’t much longer to wait but you never know

Andimaul · 04-11-2020 7:05pm

Does anyone know how long it is between each group starting GV?

Gonzo94 · 04-11-2020 7:27pm

I think it's usually around 5 weeks between each set of calls. So the next set of calls for the 2018 campaign should go out on or around the 16th November (I hope).

Wyl91 · 04-11-2020 9:50pm

PCA is v v soon. Safe to say I’m up to high doe lol how doable do we feel the 4.30mins is?

I’ve been training but I was only fit to train from Julyish as I birthed a human in May so yeh.. feeling a little disadvantaged by this.

I would contact them if it goes over 20 weeks although it could go to 30 weeks plus

Gonzo94 · 04-11-2020 10:01pm

Don't worry about the PCA. At 4mins 30 secs you should be able to walk round it (don't do that though lol).

I was in the same boat when it came to my PCA. I done mine in 3 mins 28 I believe. My training wasnt mental. I was jogging/running and adding in things like assault bike and rower. Circuit type exercises will help too. Just give it you're all and you'll be grand.

Good luck

Newbieee · 04-11-2020 10:02pm

Anyone could pass the PCA in 4.30. The last intake was 3.53 and the majority passed

Mine is up soon too and I swing between feeling "really very optimistic, sure 4:30 is ages, and thon lady in the bel tel did it in 4:18 and I must be quicker than her surely" and "I'm going to die, I'm going to knock down every obstacle, including the gym mat, and they're going to take me out the back and shoot me like the knackered old nag I am".

I've been training since March, but I've literally never done like any exercise before in my life. I've managed to get my 5k down to 4:30 mins per kilometre or so, plus I can manage 30 mins of HIIT without completely dying, but I still am worried that it's not going to be enough.

Went for my last run today - resting before the big event so my muscles are fresh but it's in the hands of the gods now.
