They generally take anyone who scores over 85% and process them through the remaining stages first. They'll be issued with vetting papers which need to be returned within 2 weeks and around that time they'll receive a PCA invite with a familiarisation day. Pass that and you'll be given a medical booklet on the day that needs completed by you and then your GP. Your medical will arrive by letter and most of the stages are set about 5 weeks apart. You usually get about 6-8 weeks notice about your PCA. Calls generally go out every 5 weeks. Once the first group have been process through a stage or two then they'll issue the people in the next score bracket with vetting papers and that's the way it keeps going provided funding is available. Other points to note are if your vetting takes a long time you might have to repeat your PCA and medical as these only last 6 months. If you fail the PCA they will let you attend training sessions to help improve your performance, I think these are ran every 2 weeks and you have up to 12 weeks to improve before retaking the PCA but you can also retake it at any of the training sessions however if you fail the retest you are out of ithe campaign. Medicals include a SMT which involves hair being cut, you can't tell it's been shipped but they look for a minimum length of 3cm so guys be warned, if they can't scalp you, they'll get it elsewhere :P

Chez123 wrote: Third time but chickened out of the AC the first time and then life got in the way the second. Thought it went well to be honest but then I've replayed it in my head a million times and picked out so many things I done wrong that now I'm scared I may not even have passed it lol. What about yourself?

Delilahbeau wrote: » Nope. There won't be a difference until the PSNI take the merit list off Deloitte and Start processing the higher scorers. All 1800 of us get our AC results this Friday.

Icarus9 wrote: » Folks where is all this 85% nonsense coming from? In campaign 2 there were less than 5 people scored over 85%. Even If you score mid to high 70s and low 80s you will be in the first 2 squads. It all slows down a bit as the scores drop for example if 20 people score in the 80s, 200 people in the 70s, 500 people in the 60s. It all of course depends on how the scoring goes in a particular campaign and this could be a high scoring or low scoring year but the above score ranges for the 1st 2 squads were correct for campaign 2. Good luck to all waiting results!

Personally I think you need to get 70+ or else you'll have a long wait or risk the budget getting cut. Is there an FOI on AC scores? I'm surprised that there was only 5 that scored over 85.

Delilahbeau wrote: » There is, it is here. It shows that yes, 85+ was a score that only 6 people achieved. However, further breakdown is available in another FOI found here.https://www.psni.police.uk/globalassets/advice--information/our-publications/disclosure-logs/2015/human-resources/recruitment_campaign_scores.pdf

Also does anyone know if anyone has had any problems with vetting due to tattoos? I've a reasonably sized wrist one, is not offensive but unfortunately quite prominent.
