How soon did you receive a vetting link after sending out the forms? How long does the vetting take now?
Got the same start dates as above, seem to be a bit tight if vetting will take a while.
Garda vetting should be done in under two weeks, unless you've lived abroad for a while, in which case it could take longer.
I sent in forms late yesterday, vetting link arrived lunchtime today.
Thank you H.P., I didn't get the link yet, sent the forms 1st of February, hopefully it'll come early next week.
Just got an offer for my 2nd choice of location, training starting 31st March or 7th April. Could anyone who started in January advise on what the training involves. Thanks
Is anyone else with a March 31st/ April 7th start date waiting forever for their qualifications to be verified?
I'm still waiting on the Garda vetting; which could take two weeks, give or take. If you look at the vetting tracking site, and the last message was about being submitted for processing, that's where the wait is. Once they move on and send you the next notification, their end should be wrapped up within a day.
Thanks H.P! I'm not too much worried about Garda Vetting as I've been through that with Revenue before and I know it can take time.
Just in my qualifications they requested transcripts but I haven't had word back yet about them being 'accepted', so to speak. I contact them but they just say basically that it's gone up the chain to be verified.
Hi all, if you’ve lived in Australia for a couple of years do you need a police clearance cert as part of the Garda vetting? I didn’t see it mentioned in the info received!
Have recd 31/03 or 7/4 start dates too ... sent of vetting today. Hoping won't be too long coming back. 🤞🤞 Anyone who started in Jan got any more detail about what they've been doing since they started ?
Hi Meke, can I ask what location you're starting in? I know a couple of the January starts and they've just been doing remote training towards the ITI exam (I think).
Sligo
I have a March/Apr start date for Limerick. My qualification was verified straight away and I am just waiting on Garda clearance. Just to add I already work as an EO in Revenue. Had to go through external comp to go to audit due to the criteria that had to be met.
Spoke to a Jan starter and they are all doing their ITI's at the minute with the exams in April.
Yes all verified too just waiting on the garda clearance. Can't wait to get started now. How are the Jan starters finding it ?
Hi REVCOLIM what qualification did u have, was it ITI Tax technician. I am thinking about doing this course, would you have a better chance of getting eo in audit with it
Hi Philipberry. Yes I have the ITI tax technician completed. It's one of the requirements to apply for it. I don't know if it makes it easier to get the position compared to any of the other requirements / qualifications to be honest (and I doubt it makes a difference in the interview) but it is definitely worth doing if you are thinking of going for audit as it is part of the training requirements when beginning the audit programme. So for instance if you apply for the audit job with say a degree in maths you will have to complete the tax technician as part of the audit training. If you have the tax technician completed prior to starting audit then you do some sort of fast tracked training. Again I haven't started yet so I am unsure of the time frame for training at the minute but I have been told I don't have to do the Iti exam element of training.
Sorry to but in but I am starting soon as a Clerical Officer in Revenue. Is it one exam as part of the training? If so are the lectures during working hrs or evenings and weekends, thanks.
Hi, anyone with start date end of March received any further instructions such as who they are to meet on day one, what time and any info on the training? Also is the training & lectures during work time? Anyone on here that started in January that can give any info would be great!
Thanks :)
No nothing since contract sent back and garda vetting completed.
Had call today from the person I'll be reporting into to introduce themselves etc. I had to send on a passport photo for the staff Id etc .. more documents to follow in coming few days.
Hi i was just wondering has anyone received a confirmed date to start their training supposed to be starting training next week but haven't received confirmation. TIA
@sparklegirl did you start Thursday?
I started Thursday and received an email Friday afternoon to work email with a teams invite for the induction starting tomorrow ? It's 9.30 to 5 for the week.
My mgr forwarded on an email too which Said induction this week and official training then starting 25th April
Was told I'm starting Thursday 7th, hoping I will hear more tomorrow 🤞 I thought training was starting this Thursday but if not starting until 25th no panic then, good luck tomorrow
Ya well thats mine anyways.
Thanks 👍🏽 😊
Got word starting Monday, I'm so nervous how did your 1st week go, what all have you been doing
Apologies only seeing this now. I'm sure you have being getting on fine.
Hi
I have an interview coming up , does anybody have any tips ? Thanks
How did your interview go?
Hi all, I am going to have interview next week, June. Any tips how it will look like? Standard interview?
can anyone tell pros and cons of the position? I have not bad job at the moment, just thinking if it is worth to change? I’m only after college, on less money at the moment.
