2021 Applicants - Merit List

This is what i am hoping lol, fingers crossed there is an April intake and some of us get an offer 😁 awaiting psni figures to update. Offers went out the day after it was updated in January. Not be many left in the new update when it comes through

The only thing I've noticed is that they are clearing groups on the day the offers are being made. I think that's what magic highlighter might be referring to. Can't all clear on the one morning, good chance a number may be cleared but emails won't be received until offers are ready to be made.

June? Lol there's no way of meeting that timeline I wouldn't have thought. I get that they are going to fast track a few lucky ones but to get them through the whole process in 4 months seems unrealistic. I would have through September as stated previously would be doable at a push. Be interesting to see what happens though over next few weeks

Hopefully it’s all hands on deck. There is people who want to be in, and there is a high demand for officers.

The college has 6 squads and the course is designed to hold 50 per squad. So in hindsight, there should be 300 student officers in GV within 6ish months of the first squad going in. Be pretty cool if that could happen. Squads only have 34 or there about in them at the minute.

Why would there be a delay? There is no indication that there will be. The only reason there isn’t confirmation of courses beyond March is that it’s the start of a new financial year in April.

yeah I got an email then next day got a call

Psni strength figures out and numbers are down again this month, not by much but consistently dropping even with the monthly intakes of students. 6278 is the current number. Can see why jon boucher is wanting to get 2025 recruitment drive up to speed very quickly

does anyone know the shifts patterns? Iv read 4 days on 4 days off. Can anyone confirm this?

last time I spoke to a serving officer it was 4 on 4 off and this was only a handful of months ago

check out the Instagram q&a from yesterday, someone asked this question, it is still visible on their stories.

Numbers updated on psni website, could be more calls going out tomorrow. 154 remaining in process. Looks like only 26 people starting in March course

Yup, 289 as of 7/1/25 and 315 as of the 07/02/25. Tomorrow is 5 weeks since last calls so fingers crossed some of us will be getting calls tomorrow. Last month numbers were updated and then emails and calls the following day

Anybody hear anything today?

It's a nightmare, I thought we would have been OK as the numbers are dropping monthly, numbers recently sitting at 6278 even with the intakes. With every officer that leaves that frees up alot of money I would have thought.
