    Hey Folks!

    Just joined this as I have submitted my application today and this seems to be the place in the know.

    Good luck to you all and hopefully see you all at the IST.

    Welcome to the mad house!!!! You'll be addicted to boards soon enough plus it's good to "know" others who are going through the same emotional roller coaster as you.

    All signed up! Has anyone heard anything back regarding an IST date?


  • Registered Users Posts: 301 ✭✭KevBo2015


    Don't expect to hear anything regarding an IST date until the application closes.

    I would get stuck into the IST prep NOW if you have not already. God awful thing the IST.... so glad you don't have to do anything like it in hotel GV haha.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 77 ✭✭Joe789


    Probably the hardest part of selection the IST!


  • Registered Users Posts: 80 ✭✭Momc82


    My stomach feels tight just thinking about this whole process.... Especially the IST. 😒

    the lives of the many disrupted by the actions of the few, While I hold my own beliefs on what Northern Ireland should be I will say If you can't achieve it peacefully its not worth achieving in what is supposed to be a modern democratic country, people still living in that war mindset need to either wise up or ship out

    Cheers for the reply bud, Christ the night! Muppets with total disregard to everybody and anybody, and all people want to do is go about their business and lives. Anybody reading this who isn't a member of boards and this has maybe thrown you, as said on here don't let this deter you at all, if we all said sod this! they win! As said before this makes me more determined more than ever, once in, the PSNI is one big family and everybody will have each other's backs and be there for one another, I know for sure when I'm in it will take an army to get through me to harm any of my colleagues, or those that are innocent, and I legit mean that.

    Thanks, first in a long line of hurdles.

    I submitted mine they day they opened. I assume they process them in date order so if you applied the same day or not long after, you should hear back reasonably soon.

    Last year the qualification stage was clearer I don't have English or maths gcse but I have nvq level 2 and 3 in different subject from nwifhe . They are not in English or math. Last year I passed the mark or thought I did. It was a point system and my nvqs got me over the limit of gcse equivalent . this year not so sure as it just says 5 gcse or equivalent including math and English.and when you go to the equivalent page kits less informative. is there anyone here who would have any information that could help can you let me know

    What subject are your NVQ's?

    Have you completed any literacy and numeracy Essential Skills level 2?

    The nvqs are a level 2 and a level 3 in wood work. It says you may meet the eligible criteria that the qualification must have a certain amount of credits to be equal to a gcse. This section doesn't discuss the nvqs needing to be English or math. It only mentions English when it gives example of how things can add up.
