    Hiya, so you’ll get an email for either the Ballinasloe or Tallaght college with a start date. You then reply to it and say that you are interested. If you are not interested because you want the other college or a later start date you just don’t reply. I got an email at the end of September for a start date in mid January so I’m guessing it’s usually about the 4 month mark. That time in September I got an email for both Ballinasloe and Tallaght so I’d say they’ll be running the classes the same time. I heard from a reliable source the next class in Ballinasloe is July. Hope this helped.

    Anyone any idea on how many people are left from all existing panels and are waiting to start training? Its difficult trying to find any information on this. I was successful in the student paramedic campaign advertised October 2019 which went live December 20th 2019. Any information from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

    I’m also looking for some information regarding this! Desperate for a start date as I’m currently working in England looking to move back home!

    Best off emailing HBS directly and just asking how many are left on the national panel.
    It's a pain waiting but I have found that just forgetting about it has made the time fly by. We are on the list, the text will come eventually. :rolleyes:

    I emailed them about a month ago to see where I was on the panel and they told me they can’t give out that information.


  • Registered Users Posts: 79 ✭✭chicgroovy101


    Anyone heard anything? Or know when we could expect to hear?


  • Registered Users Posts: 125 ✭✭Jimmy113


    What did people think of the aptitude test today?


  • Registered Users Posts: 41 Baby S 85


    Anyone any information about schedules, such as when you start with your class, start time and finish times of college, 8-4 or 9-5 etc.

    Yesterday was final day of aptitude, hopefully they won’t take too long to come back! How did everyone find it? I personally thought it went terrible!


  • Registered Users Posts: 125 ✭✭Jimmy113


    Anyone any idea on how many applied?

    Results out!! How did everyone do?


  • Registered Users Posts: 44 Newgirl89


    Hi guys, just wondering anyone who applied this time for student paramedic, did you receive documentation that was handed the day of aptitude back? I’m assuming there was a delay with returning it due to covid but just want to double check


  • Registered Users Posts: 63 ✭✭NeuronalJoe


    I got mine back the day I went for interview. Due to the the current recruitment campaign being on hold, they might be hanging on to them until the interviews get the go ahead? Complete speculation, obviously.


  • Registered Users Posts: 41 Baby S 85


    Any 1 any idea if the panel will be used this year?

    That makes sense, it was just at end on email to say had passed aptitude they said they would be sent out by registered post, patiently awaiting interview date 😀

    My panel went live 20th December 2019, no EOI out yet. I was placed 23rd, hopefully will get a call this year but I heard that the initial panel isn't exhausted yet.

    And with everything going on can only assume a delay on all sides including current panels... hopefully you will get going this year, your a good number on panel. Out of curiosity when did you apply?

    Good stuff, I used to record myself giving interview answers and keep practicing going through your examples. If you give me your email address, I can send you on what I had read up on and reviewed.

    Hi all,

    Just wondering if there is anybody with any knowledge/information on the search and rescue units of the coast gaurd winchman/paramedic. I'm on the panel that went live 20 December 2019, I'm hoping if successful on becoming a paramedic to go down this route if possible, hard to find information about it online. Any information would be greatly appreciated from any qualified paramedics on here, or anyone at all.

    Tomorrow is the deadline for submitting an expression of interest for the classes, so the offers won't be sent out until after that. At least the ball is rolling again. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 41 Baby S 85


    Anyone been offered a spot yet?
