    Great news. I was 22x in OOM and I got an email for interview at the end of the month. So it looks like they are moving on it. It they stick to their plan, medicals in September?

    I sent the photo of the passport page. I think they wanted that even if you are Irish.

    It's a new format, so hard to know in advance. I would guess it will be less about the day to day as a reserve, and more about your own character and suitability.

    The last campaign had the civil service organise an in person group aptitude test, if successful you would then have an interview at a designated station with a sergeant. This time around the civil service does the initial interview and once you are successful, it then moves to the second part of the application which is done by AGS themselves. Or at least that's how I'm reading it.

    I read from old posts on this forum that it was in garda HQ Dublin. But I wouldn't be surprised to hear that it will be your own Gp, or one that they pick.

    It would involve hearing, eyesight and a range of other tests, so would assume it'll still be their doctor doing the evaluation.

    I got a place for training for the GR some years back but could'nt attend for training due to work & travel commitments at that time.

    During selection at that time I had to get a medical report from my own GP and send it in. I was then called for my medical at Garda HQ and was examined by the Garda Doctor (who also reviewed the medical form/records from my GP).

    Medical was the same as for full-time I was told at that time. I'd imagine the same applies for this campaign.

    Hi all, Just wondering if anyone could guide me, I failed two leaving cert subjects however I have a degree I got low grades however I passed, but this appears to be affecting my application, does anyone know what do I do or has anyone been in this position?
    Thank you

    Feck, I gave them my results for a masters degree, and they came back to me and wanted my leaving cert results as well if I wanted to proceed in the process.

    would the masters degree not get you points on the framework to proceed?
    Says leaving cert OR 120 credits on the framework??

    I thought that the masters would be enough. They said it was only 45 credits , but when I went back and checked , it was 90 credits. 45 credits of each of the 2 years.
