    Hi Guys,


    Sorry to hijack your thread but what can we expect from the stage 3 process?


    I know I need the leaving cert, but should I bring anything else like a CV etc?


  • Registered Users Posts: 687 ✭✭✭weadick


    Does anyone know how frequent the classes are? I know the next class is in August but from what I hear it is nearly full already so when will the next class after that be, November?

    Bring a print out of your application form. They go through anything you have put on that. Bring any qualification certs you have. Then the rest birth cert etc. Make sure you put a post code for every address that's on the form you have to fill out. I forgot one and I had to bring it home and send it back up. Learn all your competencies well. Have a good example for each. Be prepared for questions that test your character. I got something like if you thought something was morally right but legally wrong what would you do. I told them about my neighbour who has Alzheimer's. We didn't see her for a couple of days so we broke into her house to make sure she was ok. It covered what they asked. Be as prepared and honest as you can. At the end of the day those interviewers are there to determine if you are suited for a job and if you're not would you really want it when it's not for you. The interview is intimidating but fine. Best of luck 😊

    If you still have to do your medical or physical I'd say forget it for now...

    Hi, no they sent me an email to say it was back, and all going well if I pass my fitness hopefully they'd be in a position to offer me a place on an upcoming class.

  • Registered Users Posts: 27 DG74


    Dont be nervous , I did mine in April , it’s actually not that bad , once your reasonable fit you’ll breeze through it.

    No didn't hear anything about a class yet. Just got the email saying that my clearance is back and if I pass my fitness hopefully they'd be in a position to offer me a place on an upcoming class. I would have deferred the August class anyway, if I could.
