Just wondering guys when do you get your merit list number? Is it after the AC or PCA?

This is confirmed a week or so after results are realised from the ac.

Thanks again, yeah my vetting seemed to take forever I would say around 4 months. Sorry can’t remember exact date at the minute. I hope so just wanted to know if people thought it would be likely this side of Christmas? From any previous experience/ educated guessing

Cheddar87 · 14-11-2019 6:51pm

Hi. I had my medical and SMT this week. Whats a rough time frame for hearing back with the results?

1-2 days after medical and 2 weeks for smt results that was my time scale

Cheddar87 · 15-11-2019 12:51pm

Thanks. I’m hoping for the same. The waiting is the worst part.

Pecks123 · 15-11-2019 4:30pm

Hi everyone

Looking to apply again third time Lucky, what tips can you offer or not for the recruitment process ahead, particularly the IST and assessment centre?

Congrats to everyone who has passed and are awaiting a call,

Ferriswheel_1 · 15-11-2019 7:10pm

Hi guys/gals!!

I’ve done my medical this week and still have heard nothing back. Was just wondering if there was anyone else in the same boat as me?? Also would anyone know roughly how long it would take to find out??

Many thanks

Cheddar87 · 15-11-2019 7:18pm

I’m in the same boat. Done mine this week. Hopefully hear before the end of next week. Medical, SMT and vetting to go. Have to stop refreshing my email constantly ðŸ˜€

Same I had mine on Tuesday and have been checking my emails and on here like a mad woman ðŸ˜‚ just need to be patient I suppose! Hate the waiting ðŸ™ˆ

Unperturbed Zero · 16-11-2019 10:52am

I got vetting passed this week ml 430ish and am now appointable.
For reference sake my medical pass was the day after the test
My SMT was 9 days after test
Vetting took 14 weeks

Specysteve · 17-11-2019 6:32pm

Hi all, apologies in advance as I know this has probably been answered before but how long after passing the PCA do you get a date for the medical assesment/ how long is it between the PCA and medical? Thanks

You will get the date emailed inside 24/48 hrs if you pass PCA. Date will usually be 3/4 weeks later

Thanks for the info. Passed the PCA second attenpt a few weeks ago but still havent heard anything about medical date. Not sure if failing it the first time has made a difference

Double check your spam folder and if not contact them on 101 ask for recruitment. Doesn't sound right.

MUFC1 · 22-11-2019 4:35pm

Anyone else waiting on PCA going to be the end of Jan.

Ddedd · 22-11-2019 5:53pm

Did you receive an email? 850-870 and haven't got anything yet.

Ddedd · 23-11-2019 10:28am

I have recently completed all managed stages and received all the individual emails to confirm they have been passed. Just waiting on the call. Do I get an email from the recruitment team to confirm you completed everything and advise of next part of the process or just wait for a call.

If you have completed everything then yes you just wait for a call. Ring up 101 and ask for recruitment. Have your UID handy. They will categorically confirm which stages are passed/outstanding and if you are appointable.

kittty · 25-11-2019 9:58am

calls expected this week? hoping they are done early in the week so I can stop stressing

GRJ27 · 26-11-2019 1:39pm

Got the call today finally after vetting took ages!

Thank you! I was around 180-200

Gm9962 · 26-11-2019 9:03pm

Hi new to the forum, had my medical recently and just received an email to go for a review pre-placement health assessment. Just wondering if anyone could shed any light on what this might be for?

kittty · 28-11-2019 1:39pm

Anyone have any info on where about they are on the merit list with the calls?

Gonzo94 · 03-12-2019 2:35pm

Apologies for taking this slightly off topic.

To anyone who has already done/those waiting to do the PCA.

What did you do/are doing to try and prepare yourself? Just trying to pick up some things that I'm not currently doing already.

I'm currently doing a mixture of weights, cardio/interval training and plan on doing some circuit classes in my local gym, though this might have to be limited to one a week.

The PCA is probably the only part of this process that worries me the most (Vetting in 2nd place) haha. I've spoken to several police officers and they've all said the same thing. That its not as hard as people make it out to be. I'm not so sure of that after reading some of the posts on here lol. A work colleague told me about his friend who done it 2 years ago. He was a big guy who wasn't fit at all. He failed the first time and passed on his retry. Hearing about him makes me feel a whole lot better about it. Though the worry is real haha.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

It's not that difficult if you have a half decent level of fitness. I would suggest doing lots of running and plenty of sit ups, press ups, lunges and burpees etc. Just short, high intensity sessions that get your heart rate going. That's what you will be mainly doing in Garnerville. After your 6 months you do it again and everyone takes a big chunk off their time so it definitely works. Unless you're very slight build I wouldn't worry too much about weights at all. The quickest people are always the young guys who weigh about 9 stone rather than the weightlifters lol

penutzimes · 05-12-2019 4:28pm

Does anybody know if the salary stated on the joinpsni website is the basic salary and if there is like weekend enhancements bank holiday enhancements to go on the top of that? And when does overtime kick in like as in after how many hours?

Thanks

As a student you get the basic salary plus the special allowance. Once you are a constable your salary increases. There is no additional payment for shift allowances. If you work on a public holiday you get double time. Overtime is paid at different rates depending how much notice you get. Maximum is double time.

Troaway · 10-12-2019 10:43am

I think I have been vetted since August, should I be concerned? Just waiting on it to complete, all other stages done

penutzimes · 11-12-2019 1:13pm

Anybody know what employer is named on your pay slip as a police officer? Dont want companies that require proof of income to know I work for the police if I get that far!

Cheddar87 · 11-12-2019 6:14pm

I submitted my vetting in September. Was hoping to hear before Christmas. I’m the same everything else is passed so only vetting left. Hope to hear soon.

You'll get details once you start on how you can confirm your income without having to say you work for the police

acnipsni123 · 28-12-2019 2:26pm

Hi there was just wondering do you receive a confirmation that the recruitment team received your online learning statement? Just worried they didn’t receive it

Also is anyone else appealing medical outcome? I’ve informed them I am appealing but haven’t heard anything since

Thanks

Gm9962 · 28-12-2019 5:34pm

I received a response 2 days later confirming they had received my online learning.

For any of my medical stuff it was exactly a week later but could be delayed due to the holidays

acnipsni123 · 28-12-2019 8:50pm

Thanks, yeah hopefully just the holidays delaying things

29-12-2019 12:41am

hey guys in regards to the vetting do they actually contact your supervisor? Dont want my employers knowing that im looking for a new job

Specysteve · 30-12-2019 6:32pm

Anyone any idea when the next set of calls will be? Thanks

Ddedd · 06-01-2020 6:18pm

Anyone here of any calls taking place?

I’d expect a call tomorrow... Next batch to start early March.
Last intake calls were made on a Tuesday.
What ML range are you?

M_M1234 · 07-01-2020 7:33pm

Got the call today

IM2018 · 07-01-2020 7:56pm

Hello. Long time lurker, first time poster. This forum, and especially this thread, has been really good for information throughout this process, so thanks everyone for your updates. I'm ML 550-600, vetting passed roughly a fortnight ago after approximately 3 1/2 months. I see the calls have been made this week. Because of my ML ranking, I don't expect to hear anything until the next set of calls(roughly every 5 weeks). If you have got the call this week, it would be great to know roughly whereabouts your are on the ML list just for my own knowledge (and sanity).
Thanks in advance.

My ML is between 405-415.
The wait is a killer!
My vetting took 20 weeks to clear so they may be further down the merit list than my score....
