    Did the PCT today, passed it, classes are going in September, November, December, January & February. Slot of people that did it with me today still didn't have their security clearance back. Be prepared to wait a long time, they were saying they have people on their books waiting 12 months

    Toughest part are the 40 shuttle runs, just practice them and you will be grand

    Lads, have my interview coming up. Just wondering when you give the details for vetting do they talk to you about it? When I went for the Guards I had to meet with a Sgt and he discussed it. Just wondering how it works for the Prison Service?

    The guards wouldn’t ask me that, lol

    Am told a few days after interview results, candidate gets 3-4 weeks notice on med/phys test.

    Ha ha, sorry JD. I wasn't trying to pry. But I was just curious as I haven't heard of anyone being called for their medical so soon after their interview (at least for the 2019 competition). I had my interview in and around the same time as Iseedeadpixels and I'm also still waiting to be called for my medical.

    No. As far as I'm aware, no one from the 2019 competition has been contacted regarding stage 4 as of yet. So don't worry, they simply haven't got to us yet.

    Conservatively speaking, I'd say we'll be looking at the final quarter of 2019 before we're called for the medical. Provided everything goes smoothly following the medical/physical, I think it'll be mid 2020 before we're called to Beladd. Don't take this as gospel, by the way. This is simply a guess on my part, based on the average time frames of posters from last year's competition.

    I passed my interview over 2 months ago and i am ranked fairly high in the order of merit. When they contact you about your medical do they send the message on public jobs or via email or what ?

    Registered Users Posts: 10 ✭mmmmmdaly


    no they email you directly, after the interview public jobs have nothing to do with it, it;s the IPS that take over
