If anyone is currently in GV, can you PM me, re induction, first day, supplies needed etc. due to start in the coming weeks. Thank you

Gonzo94 · 13-02-2020 8:29pm

Seen this earlier and made me a bit worried that it might cause problems for the rest of us on the 1810 list. Hope not though.

BruceWayne1 · 14-02-2020 2:19pm

You are existing recruitment, the funding for your training has already been approved and allocated to you. This would apply to future campaigns but I suspect it’s political commentary by the boss to make sure he gets what he needs.

Cheddar87 · 14-02-2020 8:46pm

This is a bit of a random question but what’s the colleges policy on beards. Do you need to be clean shaven?

You can either have a beard or be clean shaven, you can't have stubble.

Yes, someone actually in GV can confirm

Has anyone attended the medical with a shaved head? Emailed OHW asking would it be possible for hair to be taken from chest/armpits but they have suggested that I should try and grow my hair before the medical.

Anyone else that got their vetting forms before Christmas still waiting for their PCA date &#55357;&#56872;? Starting to panic I’ve missed an email or something.

SMS19 · 23-02-2020 3:57pm

@merrymarley,

Where abouts on the ML list are you?

I know a fella who is ML1000+ and has not heard anything yet.

mcc212ajc · 23-02-2020 7:25pm

ML 450 to 480 here . everything passed just waiting on vetting to clear . from the republic so I'm thinking it may take a little longer .. sitting at almost 6 months with a small delay that was resolved in October. anyone else in the same boat ?

MUFC1 · 23-02-2020 8:22pm

That's a long wait to.. Vetting seems to be talking a very long time for some strange reason.

everything else flew by... it was all very swift and exciting while it lasted and then the long wait began. all part of the process I suppose so cannot complain too much it just seems like forever. perhaps it is taking longer due to them processing a large chunk of recruits at once. upon checking the recruitment stats it seems 400 are being processed at the moment.

I'd email them to see if they have an estimate of when you will get a date, I got my vetting forms before Christmas too and have my pca done and medical is in a couple of weeks

IM2018 · 24-02-2020 5:00pm

Guys,
Expect vetting to take at least 4 months. PSNI done a live Q&A on Instagram and the vetting question was asked, the answer was 4 months. Anyone who got there's cleared prior to 4 months was just fortunate. Stay patient and stay positive.

SMS19 · 25-02-2020 8:10pm

They did a Q&A about a month ago and said that it normally takes about 12 weeks. Wonder if there is a hold up at the moment meaning that they are now expecting it to take longer?

acnipsni123 · 26-02-2020 6:30pm

Hello again, just a thanks to everyone who pm’d me regarding my medical appeal questions, I’ve now successfully passed it and got my vetting cleared a few days ago (about 14 weeks after I sent it for reference). So just waiting for the call now finally, where abouts are they in the merit list with that? I’m around 750~
Thanks and good luck to everyone in the rest of the process and training!

penutzimes · 27-02-2020 2:50pm

Anybody here done the medical, can they remeber if they had to bring an opticians report or did they test the eyes themselves?

mcc212ajc · 27-02-2020 5:43pm

they test the eyes themselves. just got email from vetting asking me to fill out an monthly income and expenditure form. first I've heard since October so hopefully it clears soon.

MUFC1 · 28-02-2020 3:56pm

Why do you have to fill out an expendure form??

They check you aren’t in a financial position that may leave to vulnerable to bribes or corruption.

CuppaTay · 03-03-2020 1:21am

Created an account just for following this topic. I received an email offering a place at a PCA event, does this mean that my vetting was successful? Or is it continuing to be done whilst the other necessary parts are completed? Should mention that my vetting forms were sent off in December.

Nope, just means that they have reached your ML number for PCA. Are you in the ML1000+ bracket?

That's what I thought, thanks for the confirmation. And yeah I'm in the 1000+ bracket. Long awl process but we'll get there!

football22 · 10-03-2020 12:46pm

Do you get 2 separate emails for passing both the medical and substance misuse or is it all under the 1 email?

acnipsni123 · 10-03-2020 1:53pm

its two separate emails, SMT takes a bit longer than the medical result

MUFC1 · 10-03-2020 7:57pm

How long you talking before you know get word you past both.? They must need people quick, I got a call last week from recruitment asking me to finish my online learning ASAP, was due to Thursday.

acnipsni123 · 10-03-2020 9:52pm

A few days after medical for the medical result and then about week after that for the SMT, that was my experience anyway
Hopefully they are starting to speed up, I’m just waiting on the call now, wouldn’t mind it ASAP been a long process haha

NornIron74 · 10-03-2020 10:36pm

I got my result 6 days after the medical even though my email was dated 5 days earlier.

football22 · 11-03-2020 6:01pm

Anyone have a rough timescale for when your Vetting forms are checked etc. Got the confirmation email for both medical and SMT so i think its just a waiting game now.
