Not thinking I'll get a call this round but I can hope!

I'd imagine you will get a call for this one being so hi up the list

Fingers crossed anyway

Nah I rang recruitment, my vetting only passed on Monday so I missed last weeks cut off for calls going out today unfortunately. I'll be included in the next batch of calls. Hopefully you will be too.

Did you ring them to see if you should be expecting a call or how did you wangle that info from them?

Yes I rang, I'm 20 - 40 on the merit list and with some a bit further down the list getting calls today, I just contacted recruitment directly to ask if there was a reason I hadn't yet been called. She said they unfortunately have to put the cut off somewhere and with it being last Friday I was just outside it.

Just for anyone that’s curious, new recruitment starts this Autumn. Ps for anyone starting GV, it’s all on zoom.

What’s your source for this?

It’s 1 or possibly 2 weeks at home and then into GV - classes are split into 2 separate groups for covid

JoinPSNI website updated.

As for the GV, multiple friends in. Stated they’ve been told no assessments due to covid and social distancing. All learning is done online

What about fitness and firearms training do you know?

I don’t want to be like joe wicks with a firearm in my living room to be honest

I’m going to give recruitment a call as we were not told this when we received the call for start dates

Don’t get me wrong, you most likely are correct with the 1/2 week learning online. But as far as I’m aware few of those are yet to actually step foot into gv

Let’s hope everything sorts itself out and everyone can get into GV after their online learning.

Just wouldn’t feel the same doing all the learning at home and personally I don’t think I would learn as much in a home environment so fingers crossed!

I contacted recruitment and they said everyone will find out exactly what’s happening at induction in regards to the online learning at the start.

Lads! I got a call! Reserve intake for August start of someone drops out ����

Wooo! I just got the call as well for August reserve!

No offence, chum, but as someone in GV at present, that's nonsense.

I’m only going by as to what I was told. They are only in recent and they’ve been told it’s going to be learning online for the moment. Your course could absolutely be different.

Fair enough, maybe someone who has had their induction recently will pop along and clear it up for the benefit of others.

Congrats Mcfluffers and to all who got their calls for August and for the August reserve list. I am sure it feels so exciting! Hopefully not long behind yous, just the medical and SMT to go. Well done guys! xx
