Garda Recruitment 2022/2023

I’ve done it and passed. For the last 6 six weeks I did 2 PT sessions a week to work on push ups and sit ups, push pull .I had been doing them at home and working out to build strength but needed the extra push. I did the C25K program 1 to 2 nights a week and a fitness session that consisted of sprints etc. One thing I would suggest is going to a field or hall, stand on a line, with a cone run for 15 seconds at 3/4 of your speed. Then drop ur cone,wait 10/ 15 seconds which ever you prefer starting off. Then for the next 15 seconds run back to the line, break again and back to cone. You have to make them in the 15 seconds. Start by doing 8 then to 10 etc as you get better. This is what I found really helped me progress and fast. I wasn’t passing the beep test by repeating it. For sit ups, I did them everyday for 1 min 3 times. I did get a bit worn out with them though so in recent weeks cut back doing them as I was able to do over 40 in 1 min anyway. Push ups were the hardest for me. During the summer I was still struggling to even do them on my knees. That’s were the PT came in and really helped, I can now do full push ups. If you can do Part A of the tests you can def do part B which is the obstacle course. For that I’d recommend slowing down from some parts of it like going around the cones, balance beam etc then at the parts you can speed up really go for it. This is what I did, I didn’t get any faults and I made it around in really good time. We didn’t have to do the push pull test but I had been training pushing and pulling a prowler and it really stood to me in the obstacle course pulling the mannequin lol. Sorry this is so long but any questions just ask!

Can you street view it? I got called about a missing eircode on one of mine. There was no eircode for it. I was told to put the nearest eircode down on it.

I literally had 16 as well. In my interview with the sergeant he said there’s plenty of us there anyway lol. Can you ask any of the one’s you are in contact with to get it for you? Unfortunately they will come back and ask you for them. It will hold up your vetting as the locals will send it back to HQ looking for the info. It happened with me just for one eircode.

Date of births yeah and just include whether they are paternal or maternal

@badgerboy123 it says that a copy of your Birth Certificate will be required at a later date so just try and find a replacement now to have ready for when they ask. I honestly don't know when it will be required of you though specifically.

Yes

First the beep test, then sit ups and push ups. After that is the obstacle course and push pull test.

The bleep test, pressups and situps are grouped as one and the obstacle course and push pull is grouped as one.

If you fail any aspect you have to repeat the entire section in about a month. If you fail a second time you're out. But on the day if you fail one aspect you continue on anyway

Anybody know if Batch 4 are being interview now?

Yea I’m in batch 4, I have my interview next week.

Anybody in the 1400s? Did anybody receive any message for stage 2 ? Seems like they will never get to us.

Anyone here from batch 1 waiting to hear about intake next month? I wonder will this get pushed onto next year now if they haven't got the numbers ready to go in??

No we haven't heard anything yet. HR just send a generic email back when we enquire about it
