It hasn't been advertised

Muas Tenek · 21-08-2019 5:42pm

http://testpreparations.ie/ have just put a course for DFB up on their site. 28th Sept. They must have inside information on advertisement.

davinci88 · 22-08-2019 3:05pm

I booked it today ! There is another one set for Oct 5th / 6th , i haven't checked if they have it online yet so FYI !

The_Pete_Fella · 23-08-2019 11:21am

all things being equal, and if the process does open up on the 20th - does anyone know the rough timeline for how the process will play out. I have a big event next year and would hate if it fell in the middle of training (all things being successful).

even a rough guide like:
applications close: xxx
aptitude test completed: xx months later
interview: xxx months later
fitness test: xxx months
training start date: xxx

Judging from last campaign: completely, 100%, unpredictable. It was never spelled out and 90% of rumours on timelines were inaccurate. It all happened in the end but it was never anyway predictable unfortunately. Until it came to the medical stage, when the rest was spelled out.

According to the info the unions were given the interviews will take place in January. Results can normally be out fairly soon after interviews finish.

The job needs recruits badly. If there is no recruit class trained next year it will be a disaster for manning levels.

I would presume that a recruit class will be penciled in for the summer.

Rob_1990 · 24-08-2019 11:12pm

Surly they need another class ready to go sooner than next summer because the recruits training now are the last of the previous panel. And by the looks of it they won't cover people retiring/sick leave/holidays...

Career Services advertised 2 dates for their 1 day course today .

Best way to get the information is to do a pre aptitude course.

Oh I'd say so alright. Had planned on doing them, just if there was any other material out there. I think cork is opening soon again too.

Phillip k · 04-09-2019 9:54pm

I think the aptitude tests would be pretty much the same as garda and the rest of them I have done the career services course before . If anyone has gone through it before what is it like ?

Phillip k · 04-09-2019 9:55pm

Starting on 41k a year after tax.

Bluefire · 09-09-2019 5:13pm

Hi All,
New to this so looking for a little help/guidance.

What is the complete process from start to finish for recruitment?

1 Apply via public jobs
2 Aptitude test
3 Interview
4 Medical
5 CPAT

Am i missing anything here? someone mentioned to me about online forms etc....

DuckyFuzz · 10-09-2019 10:15am

Online aptitude test before the supervised aptitude test.

Is online aptitude at time of application or is there a few weeks gap? Cheers

That's not a bad starting salary. What does it go up to after say 20 years on the force . Where are you getting your information from ?

So your saying there on over 60k starting off they would need to be on that to get 41k after tax . I know for a fact that is not the salary . Maybe after 20 years service is more believable .

u2fanatic · 15-09-2019 11:28am

Hi folks, does anyone have a genuine figure in relation to the starting salary.. I understand money shouldn't be a driving force to join dfb but I've bills and 2 young kids to consider before I think about what I want..

So that's 1,900 a month is that just when your training.

bono_v · 16-09-2019 9:59pm

That's before tax and before shift allowance

That’s all before tax.
But what’s not included is your shift allowances/weekend money etc.
you’ll start on 41k a year.
Moves up the payscales quite fast.

davinci88 · 22-09-2019 4:52am

Does anyone know what the allowances are worth on top of basic pay please ?

Seems to be like talking about Fight Club , but for someone thinking of changing career it's a big question !

davinci88 · 26-09-2019 1:11pm

Just visited the OBI ! An absolute pleasure to meet some of the Guys old and new !

Bluefire · 03-10-2019 12:04pm

What are the hours during training? Is it Monday to Friday 9-5 sort of thing or do you stay in the college during the week nights?

Officially 9-5.
But as fire1985 said you’ll be in there a lot longer, more like 7am until 18/1900

No it’s just your basic details required at this stage .

There’s an application form after aptitude test that’ll require more .
