    Anyway, let’s just calm the jets.

    if anyone wants to fork out £250. Enjoy it 🤷🏼‍♂️

    As I say, I’m willing to help anyone and offer any advice for free.

    Just remember, be human and talk to the actors like you would want any officer engaging with your own parents and family.

    and when you get in… please don’t go running to bosses…. Nobody needs that **** 😎

    “Those I know that used it, said it was a pile of old shite and a money making game for the boys behind it. Which it is, and fair play, as it works for them. They sent me the paperwork and what was issued to them. Moneymaker game.”

    Thats not him trying to save money for other people, thats slander of the course.

    He’s literally in directly quoted other people’s opinions and you’re having a go at him? “Those that I know that have used it said”… money making scheme and fair play? Is it not a money making scheme? You’re doing something to help others and make money from your views and opinions from what you believe may or may not happen at the actual AC.

    His opinion of it being a money making scheme is valid? He has said he could give the same material for free; so therfor people would save money and have the somewhat same outcome? It is down to that individual person to then take what they gain from the material and use it..

    for me like I said; I went to the course. I did not find it informative at all. On the other hand; the material that I was given helped me a lot more than what was “taught”.

    Lads peace and love sorry I asked will prob spend the cash as I can afford it best end this talk here 🤣



  • Registered Users Posts: 229 ✭✭Boneyard2002


    If you need the Material, I can provide it free of charge. No £250 needed.



  • Registered Users Posts: 245 ✭✭Anonymous4321


    Knowing you’re going into a new job with the mindset of acting some big lad and not touting to the bosses over things ins’t wise. I Recommend watching BBC Spotlight on Coleraine station, if someone had a bit of integrity and went to the bosses then, that whole **** show could have been avoided.



  • Registered Users Posts: 200 ✭✭crazyfire999


    Look, to be fair and balanced and all that… as I’ve said up there somewhere. Like any tutoring service, it will no doubt add strings to anyone’s bow. However, in those I’ve spoken to, in their own personal opinion they said what I typed above. As someone that hasn’t actually sat on the course myself. I can’t personally speak of my own experience. So tomato 🍅 to your hearts are content… £250…. £150 back if you fail.

    if you bring some tomatoes 🍅 with you on the day they might give you some discount… I don’t know…

    Goodnight..



  • Registered Users Posts: 229 ✭✭Boneyard2002


    Going into a job with the mindset of; I don’t like other people’s opinions and views and touting is worse than having the “billy big balls” mentality.

    Oh dear… you will be a delight.



  • Registered Users Posts: 200 ✭✭crazyfire999


    I also have it and can send it (in some secure way) if needed. For free… no actually I will request an 🍏 . I don’t like 🍅



  • Registered Users Posts: 200 ✭✭crazyfire999


    No don’t be sorry haha - it’s great to have a bit of fun now and again. You have to laugh 😹 or you would cry really.



  • Registered Users Posts: 229 ✭✭Boneyard2002


    If anyone wants the no tomato’s material. Send me a Private message. It can be sent via chat. Don’t worry I won’t charge.



  • Registered Users Posts: 200 ✭✭crazyfire999


    Well done 👏🏼



  • Registered Users Posts: 200 ✭✭crazyfire999


    This is not the official CJ audits surely? If it is… you need a good kick up the hole… in the most nicest un-snowflake way as possible 😏

    No, because I never said his opinion regarding the courses were invalid or irrelevant and should be disregarded. I just had a problem with his arrogance towards Gorgie as its unnecessary. I even agreed with one of his points saying people should already posses the CVF attributes pre assessment.



  • Registered Users Posts: 7 CJauditsyeoo


    Can’t reveal my true identity as they say maybe I am the man may the force be with u 🤫🤫



  • Registered Users Posts: 245 ✭✭Anonymous4321


    and from what i can tell, as a current officer, surely your not slabbering at someone for saying they’d tout when police rely on the public to come forward all the time.



  • Registered Users Posts: 200 ✭✭crazyfire999


    If I came across as arrogant then I will hold my hands up and say sorry if that’s the way it came across 😬 🤷🏼‍♂️



  • Registered Users Posts: 229 ✭✭Boneyard2002


    I am not personally “slabbering” at anyone? As a current officer you should know exactly what I am talking about. People that run to the bosses over NOTHING to get marks for their SGT board are not what the job is about.

    Too right, my blood boils when i watch him, but for some reason am addicted to watching him.



  • Registered Users Posts: 200 ✭✭crazyfire999


    CJ Audits = 🛎️ 🔚

    That is my true opinion.



  • Registered Users Posts: 229 ✭✭Boneyard2002




  • Registered Users Posts: 245 ✭✭Anonymous4321


    Im not a serving officer, maybe i miss-placed a comma. I was implying that i thought you were. Obviously people shouldn't tout over the minuscule, trivial things to try get people in trouble over nothing . But those things will become apparent when they are in the job and what should and shouldnt be reported will become clear. I was just saying going in with the mindset of not touting isnt wise and as a probationer fresh out of GV i would bet if a sergeant was screaming at us asking for information not one of us would last 5 seconds so we will all be touts in the end.



  • Registered Users Posts: 200 ✭✭crazyfire999


    😂😂



  • Registered Users Posts: 200 ✭✭crazyfire999


    Yeah come on… we all know the situation in Coleraine is a different scenario altogether. As is any wrong doing which is against the law and goes against any policy. There’s a difference in that and what happens amongst some. You can’t make a joke in some situations with the fear of being in front of your Sgt…. Or PSD up your hole… two different extreme. I wasn’t talking about the latter. Obviously any officer should be operating within the laws and what’s expected of any police officer.



  • Registered Users Posts: 229 ✭✭Boneyard2002


    oh sorry, i assumed you meant you were current lol. My bad.

    touting is in a way good and bad. Yes you will give information about what happened. But running to the skipper or inspector because you felt offended over an opinion is a good way of being the section tout.

    my absolute problem with this forum is just that. People like oul sarcy hole having an opinion, and someone out right saying you’re not the people we need in this job; is an absolute joke. They are the people that, personally I would not feel comfortable around. I would be too afraid to say something the wrong way or simply saying something different and the next thing I’m on PBS because of a different opinion.

    The job is stressful enough from the public perspective, nevermind having to make sure that your colleagues are trying to one up you.



  • Registered Users Posts: 200 ✭✭crazyfire999


    No… you don’t tout on your mates and colleagues fella. You won’t last long if you do that.



  • Registered Users Posts: 245 ✭✭Anonymous4321


    I bet someone £250 screenshots of this forum will be on CJ’s next video.



  • Registered Users Posts: 200 ✭✭crazyfire999


    Well he better juggle tomatoes 🍅 as part of it

    Apologies, we have hijacked this chat. Only a bit of fun folks. 🕺🏻



  • Registered Users Posts: 84 ✭✭georgie1305


    Damn, I woke up with 48 new. I was like "oh man, it's kicked off" lol

    The assesment is now that long ago, I've forgotten how much it was. £250 is alot, and I do think the paperwork alone can be a massive help if attending isn't an option. (I also offer to send over if anyone needs it)

    And yes of course, they refund half, again I forgot 🤦‍♂️ lol

    I guess 100s have passed it without attending one. I suppose it just depends on how you feel about the assesment



  • Registered Users Posts: 245 ✭✭Anonymous4321


    Does anyone know what “visits” are on this. I have like 2800 of them.



  • Registered Users Posts: 84 ✭✭WarzoneGuy1997


    I think it’s how many pages you’ve visited….i could be wrong tho

    I always assumed it was number of times you’ve logged on



  • Registered Users Posts: 51 ✭✭Newsoph3


    Hi, I did the Blue light consultancy course and passed 1st time round & quite high on the merit list.

    The approach I was going to use for the assessment centre was completely different than the approach I used after completing the course. I feel it helped me massively. Can’t remember who asked the question as it’s quite far back in the comments.

    I think it also gave me a boost in confidence as I was very nervous about the role play. Can’t remember prices or anything as it was over 2 years ago now but it definitely helped me. 🙂



  • Registered Users Posts: 71 ✭✭johnny990


    That's not a very nice comment tbh. You sound quite arrogant and condescending.



  • Registered Users Posts: 245 ✭✭Anonymous4321


    Round 2? 🫣



  • Registered Users Posts: 7 CJauditsyeoo

    I totally agree. What a comment. He is only letting himself down



  • Registered Users Posts: 3 mufc19908


    First time posting… I am merit list 170 -180. Fully appointable. I am just wondering when you guys feel I might get the call? Only reason why I’m asking is I’m getting married next year and I know in GV you can not have holidays within the 6 months. So would really need to be starting before October at the latest 🙈



  • Registered Users Posts: 60 ✭✭ynwa22


    Reserve offers going out today



  • Registered Users Posts: 51 ✭✭Newsoph3


    Hi I just passed mine and have to say it was tough enough for me, more so I found my breathing tough. Just give it your everything. I didn’t prepare enough in terms of cardiovascular fitness and still passed but if I was to redo it I would probably try and do some running or sprint intervals before hand to prepare. My breathing was terrible going into the second lap. Also definitely go to the familiarisation day if you can, it helps a bunch. Hope that helps a little. 🙂



  • Registered Users Posts: 3 mufc19908


    Thanks! Got the call today! Delighted. On the reserve list for May, if May does not come off, was told that I will be most likely within the July sqaud. Long time coming but that call is worth it 👍🏻



  • Registered Users Posts: 200 ✭✭crazyfire999


    Well done 👏🏼 - that must be really exciting knowing what you have ahead now. Where are you on the ML?
