    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. 🙂

    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 👍🏻

    @Dario Nutty Tenor How was your induction? Did you get your preferred district as well?

    It was good! A lot of it is just PowerPoints and sitting about as you’d expect but the uniform fitting is fun. Got one of my district choices, in my head it was my 4th choice but they’re obviously not weighted so technically yes. Most seemed to get something decent or close to their main choice.

    That’s great stuff. I’m 160-170… still awaiting vetting. Also awaiting Met Police vetting. Maybe the PSNI will surprise me and come back first.

    Starting to think theres more chance of winning the euromillions than vetting coming back before the next intake 😭😂

    they gave the impression at April induction that there won’t be any more courses this year

    Hopefully that changes when they get their budget in a few months. 3 classes of 30 in 1 year is hardly going to get them back to full strength anytime soon.

    yeah hopefully. Although after today who knows if stormont will survive the next few months. Very frustrating

    Very good news mate! At least you have induction to look forward to and have a confirmation for July. Plenty of time to get everything sorted before it!

    Yeah just hope to land a district I don't have to sell my organs to commute too everyday 🤣 but just glad things are moving now. Light at the end of a very long tunnel

    all districts are available and most seemed happy. I put down 4 that id be happy with, obviously they’re all equal for them although I had favourites, and got one of them, so I guess maybe put down as many as you could live with in the hopes you get one

    When you get an offer you get an induction pack and you state preferences, you get told your district at induction day.

    Confirmed no places given up for April :( So I’ll be on the May course also!
