    After I sent off my garda vetting they send me an email with a link and code to track it

    I never got that



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14 dublin 1


    I’m in batch two also I heard nothing back yet

    Just need to practice sprints! I’ve been doing PT for past couple of weeks so hoping I’ll be ok. How about yourself? I work in the prison service too so getting tips off the officers. Are you down for the 3rd? I called for it. But if I pass I may have to defer if I get offered the next class .. I’ll be sick dying to get started

    Does anyone know what way the fitness test works... Is there many people doing it at the same time? Do you get breaks in-between each test ?

    I’m getting a bit of mixed feed back from people I no about the fitness part.


    Iv been doing PT for months it’s the 40 up and back and 7up and back shuttles I can’t seem to do my time is way over and my cardio is terrible


    id say it’s like all the exams a basic standard pass rate.Iv also been told once you get that far they do everything to pass you how true that is i don’t no.


    will they not accept you after passing exams and interviews cause you can’t run quick enough who knows?

    I'm the same I'm really struggling with the 40 shuttles and getting the 7 in 30 seconds, my time is way over so hopefully your right and they will give us a bit of leeway 🤞

    They don't give you an ounce of leeway lads I can assure you. It's black and white, your under the time you pass, if your a second over you fail

    Is the women and men’s fitness test different?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43 rgrpo23


    Nope

    Exact same for both. Anyone who is any sort of shape has nothing to worry about. Just make sure to practice the shuttles so you know what pace to go on the day.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43 rgrpo23


    How many people are in a group doing the shuttles at same time?

    All depends, last group about a month/6 weeks ago there were 12 I think it was doing it on the same day.

    Has anyone in the 2nd batch who hasn’t got an email yet contacted IPS to see when they will get it ?

    Hi everyone!

    just wondering what the bmi max is?? I’m in shape and play 3 sports and am a runner but bmi doesn’t take the weight of muscle into account so I’m worried! I am small aswell so my bmi calculator seems to think I’m out of shape when that’s not the case! Do you think the doctors would take muscle into account??



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43 rgrpo23


    Max BMI is 35 but the CMO office will give you time to get below it if you’re over 35

    Is anyone else in Group 2 for the pct Monday?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8 chops1988


    I'm Monday but I'm group 1 🤢



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24 laurak24100


    Did everyone just email their garda vetting to the email that they got it from? It’s not very clear! It also says about posting it??

    You’ve to do 40 15m shuttles in less than 3.5 mins and then 7 15m shuttles in less than 35 seconds
