Passed PCA this week. Another hurdle cleared (just)

What session were you at? How did you find it?

Just seen the joinpsni website was updated this morning to include this bit re the phasing of candidates through the last stages:

Please note that these stages are managed by the PSNI and that candidates will be processed on a phased basis over a period of time (normally 6 – 12 months), according to merit order, through these stages.

At least there's a rough timescale. I'd say there is, at most, half of the merit list left to process. Unless they're phasing in small groups of 50 odd, I couldn't imagine it should take more than another few months until the last group start being phased. Only basing that on the numbers estimated or thought to have gone through PCA so far.

Just recieved email about online learning, did my pca last week

"i predict a riot!!"
fight...fight...fight!! ;-)

There has been confusion as to how many will be recruited the whole way through the process - initially 100 then 378 then uncertainty as to whether or not this 378 was inclusive of the 100 places secured under the 2013 budget. - they are phasing groups through and taking intakes of 40ish at a time - fail rates through the psni stage have been rumoured to be huge dwindling the merit list of 730 - they are currently pca + vetting people with 66% at AC - only 2 intakes started and they are still processing candidates this far down the list, there is every possibility anyone left is in with a shout, if not another campaign starting so soon should be seen as an opportunity to prove you want the job! People in the past tried many many times under 50/50 and are still having a crack at it now! I think those of us left should stop worrying so much, roll with the punches and use everything as experience! ....rant over

Should have added earlier that what I meant was even if you scored well, apply again. Civil service does this as well.
