    Reserve process is taking to long full stop.

    Is no one else tired of this waiting around for things to happen with AGS? Recruitment came around after five years and it seems it's nearly impossible to get a place and now even the reserves are slowing down their recruitment even further.. It just seems like one thing after another.. Absolute disaster!!!

    If I didnt want a career with them then i'd laugh...

    It does take some time to clear the BR stage depending how many individuals on your form need to be checked. If there are foreign jurisdictions involved there is always a delay. The whole process can take from six months to four years and it does teach you patience.

    Hi RUNNER

    The last reserve class that were there are still waiting to graduate. It was said that the next reserve class to be trained won't be any time soon! Have you been waiting long?

    I'm stuck in phase four with 40 hours complete awaiting graduation date! The collage is mental at the moment with the new recruits so hopefully we will get a date for this year! I was waiting four years but it was worth the wait, it's a fantastic experience. All the best and I hope you won't have to wait as long as I did!!!

    No worries that's what the thread is for, I started in November 2014 and I started phase phase four in January 2014, it's up to yourself how long it takes, basically you have to complete 40 hours on the job experience at the station you're designated before graduation. My 40 hours are complete and still no graduation date but I'll still do shifts just to keep in with my unit they're a sound bunch also the experience is great!

    First thing they make you do is sign a secrecy act so I can't say too much other than if you listen in the lectures and do a bit of study each evening you'll be grand! After the first week you have a mock exam which gives you a good idea of lay out of the real exam.
