Yes also appointable since March, hoping we maybe get a call in a few weeks time for a July course? Anyone know how many are been put onto a course?

Obviously those of you left who are currently appointable, we would all like to see you get the call ASAP, but also be aware that if the merit list is generated in the next few weeks, those in FT2 are going for medicals soon, so that could perhaps have an impact on who gets calls and when, if ML order is used then rather than appointable order. I also don’t think they take a group in July..

Every time I come on this board, I am filled with both joy and despair.
I think I need to leave it for a week and see what happens lol...

I might cry tears of joy if I get the call lmao.

With regards to July, I don't think there was a July intake last year but there have been in previous years so who knows what might happen.

There was a July course last year.

Can anyone tell me are they taking less people in the merit list this year than usual? My brother was told he didn't get through but hasn't received any of his results etc

I assume you mean the email telling us if we were successful or not in the absence of a ML and completed AC. Not sure about them taking less on the ML though. No one will receive feedback/ML result until the AC has been completed in full.

Anyone have a phone number for recruitment? Considering calling for smt results since been a month almost

101 ask for recruitment.

Vetting finally through ... relieved is an understatement. Not saying its coincidence, but after seen a post previously about not recieving the email, i rang vetting yesterday to check on the progress of mine. They told me it was still pending and then i got the clearing email today... medical and SMT remaining. Hoped id have a date for medical as i passed PCA 2 weeks ago... hopefully hear soon. Well done to all who got the call btw... make sure to keep us posted on what to expect throughout

Is it correct that you have to complete to pca within 4mins 30 seconds? Psni website stating 3mins 54 seconds and now I’m questioning if I was dreaming...

I think they've just updated the website to include police staff roles and an old version of the websites been used, just forgot to update it

I havent received any email update. I don't see how the assessments cannot be run in some form, my force has continued recruitment throughout. It is strange that the report in to the 2020 recruitment has already been released despite it not being completed. It also listed the location for the remaining assessments which is pretty poor.

Do people anticipate that there will be an intake each month for a while now given they have access to funding?

There is going to be intakes in both June and July OR just one intake in June / July according to recruitment. They are waiting on GV staff to decide.

It has been very strange the ways it's been carried out

Did any other non FT get the email about the remaining assessments. I never received anything, even checked spam.

Took 2/3 weeks for my smt test to come back and that was non-covid times.

Guys a bit off topic but just wanted to get other potential recruits opinions- I just saw on BBC NI that a part-time constable was targeted with bombs outside of Dungiven in the past few days...how does this sort of news make you feel? Sad? Angry? Nervous? More eager to join and stop this sort of stuff? I guess it makes me feel a mixed bag of emotions.

Like you said mate, I’d say most people (myself included) would feel a mix of all those emotions over something so regressive and futile! However, it also doesn’t put me off in the slightest. I’ve never been more determined.
