An Garda Síochána Recruitment 2025

They’re right. Monday is a bank holiday

Hi all, I passed my PCT and done my drug test on Saturday just gone. I also completed my medical and passed in my form B last week. Do they normally email you confirming your success in the PCT the Monday / Tuesday?

Just keep calm for the role play. They want to see how you reach under a bit of pressure. As for the interview, they want you to sell yourself. Just make sure you have examples for the list of criteria they have and you should be grand

This is actually fake news. Everyone who attested in February had vetting completed and are now in their stations. A couple of people failed vetting late in the phase and unfortunately could not complete their training.

Personally I would not take the chance again with a conditional offer.

Did you have an issue after you excepted the conditional offer and started training.

I had no issues, but a very stressful time waiting for the email saying vetting was completed especially when you see a couple of people get the emails saying they've not cleared vetting and their training is over.

Could be any issue... all depends on what relatives are involved in. People don't get told the reason their vetting isn't cleared either.

Yes, they email you when it's all done. I had my station interview in November 2024, didn't get vetting completed email until October 2025.

Oh that is a joke,surely the main things are done when you go to station interview,i cant understand the process at all

Does anybody know how to get a Police Clearance Cert for 6+ months living in the USA?

I've been asked for this as part of the vetting process and have no idea having done some searches. Hopefully someone has done it!!

yes go onto the U.S mission Ireland you’ll have to print off a fingerprint form fill it out and then you go to your local Garda station with identification and they will book you in for your fingerprints and then you send it off in the post they give you the address on the form / email, I’ve done it twice before, it can take approx. 2-3 to come back they are usually fast

Did you get an offer?

When did you do your medical, PCT and form b Don? Interested to see how long you were waiting for an offer as I'm all done since last Saturday

From what I’ve been told some applicants are getting in pending vetting at the minute due to the need for numbers with vetting usually completed in phase 3 shortly before attestation. Hopefully it means some of us will be in the May intake, ive the fitness test tomorrow, fingers crossed!

I'm in pending vetting. Applied day before deadline in Oct, came in the 90s after exam, physical the week before Christmas, offered Feb intake but deferred as I'm in a different job, then offered May so going into May intake.
