    Hey, I had the same issue. It was to do with how my personal profile on public jobs was set up and I ended up having to ring up and book over the phone! I would advise ringing straight away in the morning as the offices are closed over the weekend and all the decent slots will be gone by Monday.

    I was actually the opposite, I thought the test was much easier than the preparation courses.

    Yeah, just two witnesses and they even repeated the phone numbers. Not too shabby.

    I’m gonna email the Garda trainee address to see roughly when the results will be out, if anyone gets a reply before I post the info here feel free to beat me to it ðŸ‘

    How is the report writing exercise graded does anyone know, is it still possible to pass without getting one of the names of the witnesses, is there marks for structure as well as content. Cheers in advance

    It’s marked on accuracy of content, grammar, spelling, and structure.

    With accuracy being the most important, you would lose more marks for missing a detail like that as opposed to spelling something wrong in one instance, but it’s still not a fail/pass situation if you miss such a detail.

    I myself missed the 2nd name of one of the witnesses as she went straight into her address really fast after saying it, which I was very frustrated about. But I did manage to get every other detail of the incident, with a decent enough structure to the report. No doubt I lost some marks on that part, but theres only so much that could be deducted from one mistake.

    As long as you jotted down the majority of the details in a coherent and legible manner I’m sure you did fine!

    Can anyone who has completed stage 2 say if the style of the Stage 2 test was the same as Stage 1?

    Have been through 3 recruitment runs and never saw the test that was given in Stage 1. They must have used a new company.

    Debating on whether to purchase a course if the content is nothing similar to what is being used.

    It’s the exact same format. When are you sitting stage 2?

    In 2015 i done a one day prep course for stage 2 with a retired garda who has a company called the garda interview.ie however this time i have decided to purchased the stage 2 prep course from career services and i notice the report writing layout is different. the career services one is more of an informal paragraph based layout where as the garda interview report layout was based on an actual garda report as in you addressed the report to the sergeant in charge at the start and various other little things. i'm wondering does that layout difference matter as long as what was in the video was put into it.

        Got my message today about my acceptance into stage 2. Stage 1 didnt go to plan and I scraped by. Does anyone know what the best prep course would be? Should I try the Sova one as they're the ones supplying the tests?
        Thanks
