Here. What if we get PCA dates soon.... The PT guy would just look at me and go 'i thought I'd just gotten rid of you'.... :B

I don't think I could face the doctor failing to hide his smirk whenever he has me stripped to my g string. I mean y fronts. definitely skirt.....

speaking of pca and skirts, did anyone else turn up to their pca wearing one of these? the flexibility of all the jumping and running cannot be matched in anything other than a skirt.

I'm a guy btw.....

Anyone with a bit of sense brought shorts with them. I think it was more the hairy legs and false nails that done you over...

Hi all! I'm new here and was just after a bit of advice. I find this whole process really confusing!

A bit of background first off.

I first applied for psni back in septenber 2014. I passed the AC in '14 but unfortunately my overall mark wasn't high enough and was told in early 2015 my application wouldn't continue on in the process.
Jan 2016, received letter that application was being picked up again. Vetting forms sent off but havent heard back from that yet. Physical took place in march and passed and I'm now waiting to do my medical.

Having read most of the threads, I'm questioning whether or not I will get a call at all if I happen to pass all stages. I binned all correspondents when I was told my application would not continue so I've no idea what campaign I even applied to.

I live in England, so I've been flying back and forth for each stage, and if I'm honest I'm completely out of the loop with what way this whole process works. I read that the next set of calls will be the last? So in my case, with my medical still to do, chances are I won't get a call?

Any help and advice would be much appreciated.

Delilahbeau · 12-04-2016 09:52AM

Hey buddy.
First of all, welcome.

Now from reading this, I have a couple of notes. If you applied in September 2013 (Not 2014), you would have been C1. If you applied in 2014, then it would have been April/May time, not September. Likelyhood of you being called up for a C1 application (if your UID started with 13090) is minimal. Everyone who has started GV recently/received phonecalls/waiting on phonecalls/waiting for medicals etc are of C2 (14050 UID numbers), so I believe you're in C2.

A few people are still waiting on medicals, and that's OK - however, you can only be called up once your medical and SMT come back clear, so that kind of puts you out of the running for the next set of calls (expected (completely theoretically I'll add) next week) unless the drugs company are pretty nippy about releasing your results to the database.

We don't know how many more intakes there are coming for C2, especially with Ac results for C3 being released on friday. The top C3 candidates can only really start GV in September this year after they have passed their PCA's etc, all in all which takes about 4-5 months.

However, it's not over until the fat lady sings. We're all in with a fighting chance. Head up. But what I will say is I hope you done the smart thing and applied in September 2015 for campaign three.

It would be campaign 2 as they haven't phased candidwfrom campaign 3 as far as I know.

In my opinion it's not over until you are told it is. If it's the job you want just continue with the process and complete each stage as it comes, it could be that you don't get a call but at least you will have done your best to be in with a shout.

To be honest nobody really knows when the campaign will close.

Also, if I were you I would edit the post to remove the date of your medical, better safe than sorry.

iamveryhopeful · 12-04-2016 09:58AM

there is also a sense of satisfaction completing each stage successfully even if (and I hope not) you didn't end up getting a call (not you specifically but in general anyone).

would give me a bit of confidence throughout the next recruitment campaign (in this case 1509).

Although in saying that, the assessment centre for 1405 did not help me in the end for the assessment centre for 1509. lol.

so just ignore my nonsensical rants.

Thanks for your replies.

I didn't apply again because when they told me I wasn't continuing in the process my wife and I decided to move and buy our dream house as we were expecting our first child. So really its going to be now or never for me.
I just don't get why they would call us up for each stage if they weren't going to make an offer of employment if each stage is passed. Why spend all that money?

How do I edit my previous post please?

very nearly chose not to re-apply myself for the very same reason (the budget cut letter for 1405).

if you had the answer to that question you'd be the most popular person on here.

I'd like to think they wouldn't be putting people through the pca and medical at this late stage unless there was a chance of offering them a place at G.V (upon passing). However, I know nothing and (as above) I like the sound of my own typing.

The majority of the time the recruitment process for the PSNI makes no sense, well to us on the outside anyway. There were people in campaign 1 who didn't get a call but I don't know whether that was down to medical and vetting lapsing.

To edit your post there is a small button on the bottom right of the post you want to edit.

Delilahbeau · 12-04-2016 10:11AM

Congratulations on the baby and home!

Here now, you could very well be in for a late phone call, you just never know. I very much hope that you do!

There really is no way of knowing until you get that call or a dear John letter. It really is just a case of HR picking your name off a list and calling you when they get the go ahead. Continue living life as you do, and look as it like if you get the call, its a bonus. The wait is long, but it is worth it. And, we're not a bad bunch. Although, if you do bring babs over.... Elocution lessons. No one deserves this thrust upon them....

JROB · 12-04-2016 10:30AM

I guess we just have to hang on in there then. Can't help but feel we are living in limbo at the moment though. So much we want to do to the new house but don't want to spend the money if there is a chance we won't be here much longer.

Thanks alot for all your advice. I think I'm a little more clued up now on what's going on.

JROB · 12-04-2016 10:32AM

Also, does anyone know how I can find out if my vetting has cleared?

Delilahbeau · 12-04-2016 10:35AM

I'll send you a PM with the email address.

It takes a week to clear drugs test apparently. Keep that in mind. I have heard of someone getting call the week after, so that would be Tuesday. No guarantees but thought that would be helpful.

It is mate, thanks. Fingers crossed.

I had my medical earlier than some of the ones that have posted on here and have now got "the phone call" from what I can make out.
Hoping it's been the few days delay between receiving and posting back my updated vetting form is the reason I haven't got the call yet and not that I'm in line for the dear John letter!! Either way I'm still waiting . . . .

What score did you get in AC? I got 62 so I'm praying I'm in the next set of calls. I've read that a few of those who got the call on Tuesday were around the 63-65 mark.

I was in the 65- 70 range for the AC so now I'm really wondering what's going on?! Anyone know anyway I can find out or is it just the waiting game now?

Has your vetting cleared. While that's still outstanding they'll be folk with lower scores taken before you until it clears

Whataboutye · 18-04-2016 07:22AM

I didn't pass the ac stage there for 15050. Could that in anyway affect me on going any further for 14050? I have my medical very soon here so I'm quiet far on and my vetting has cleared so fingers crossed will be in the "waiting room" very shortly and waiting on the call!

No idea if my vetting's cleared or not, I haven't heard anything but wasn't really expecting to on that front either, I just assumed that as it was so long ago that I filled out the form and the other stuff was going ahead I was in the clear!! How do I find out if that's what the hold up is?

Thanks for all the responses on here too, I've only started posting but been reading through posts for a while gleaning what info I can and it's really helpful!

JROB · 18-04-2016 08:20AM

I'll pm you an email address that you can contact to ask about your vetting. They got back to me last week straight away.

Thanks JROB, emailed them there now so fingers crossed, I've done everything else now so I just hope it's the vetting holding me up, I'm probably at the older end of the applicants so perhaps have a bit more of a history for them to check out by way of past addresses etc.

Hey

No, they are completely separate campaigns. Obe application is not effected in any way by the other. You're still in lad.
