    Got the call! I was starting to seriously doubt not applying to campaign 2; over the moon, really looking forward to meeting everyone and getting stuck in.

    Congrats again to the others already in and good luck to the others waiting on the call; I got a call very late today so possible there may be more tomorrow.

    Congrats to all who got the call this week!

    Has the online learning started again? When I try login it says account suspended, Is anyone else getting the same message?

    Unfortunately I really stupidly didn't print everything off and only made minimal notes...regretting it now but just going to have to go flat out at it when we get access again

    Firstly, congratulations to you all for getting the call! I am a long time lurker who has finally emerged from the woodwork after following the forum on and off for a couple of months. I was just wondering how much time you are given between receiving the call and your start date in order to hand notices into work etc? And also whether or not there is much time there is between your call and the induction day/weekend? (I know you can't post exact dates for security reasons!) Do they expect everyone to drop everything and report for induction/training at relatively short notice after making everyone wait so long for the call?

    I just realised how suspicious that last message looked, I should probably have provided a bit of background information about myself. I am in the early stages of the waiting game of the May 2014 campaign, having passed the assessment centre with a score of 66.25. I know these things are a long way away (if reading these forums over the past months has taught me anything!) but I was just wondering regardless! Thanks in advance!

    Put it this way, I had time to give a full month notice and get time off for myself. You do get enough notice for induction also! Hope this helps...

    Cheers for the quick reply Owenrs! Is the induction held just before you start in Hotel G/ville or is it held a couple of weeks before? I am sure that last month in work will drag in ahead of starting your training!

    Don't worry, you'll get all the details should you get that far, as Owenrs indicated you'll have more than enough time for whatever job you're in to get to both the Induction and the Official Intake day.

    Best of luck with your current application!

    Well done to all.... Just wondering how many new recruits are from South of the border? Do you have concerns for your security?

    I'm near Dundalk and would not feel safe living here if I was a member of the psni...

    Best wishes in your training.. Enjoy

    So is everyone all set for one of the biggest transitions you will ever make?

    How are people feeling?Im still a bit numb and in shock.I think itll kick in proper when we go through those gates.Im bloody ready for it and hope you guys and gals are too!

    Any opinions on why the SID is longer since the last recruitment?

    Yeah looking forward to it but also got the nerves. It ain't going to be easy! I think the induction is longer because the actual 22 week training is more intensive (more to fit in) than previous and we have to get the faffing about out of the way so we can hit the ground running from day 1.

    Hey all,

    I checked my online learning today on the off chance and I'm able to get in. Not sure if it's wise to start the induction course just yet, but can get onto the pre-entry stuff.

    Apologies for getting anyone's hopes up.
