    Only a minute or two, you jump straight into it after taking the notes.

    You only get 1 or 2 minutes to write the report??? :eek:

    No, you get 30 minutes to write the report. After the video scenario has finished it is about 1 or 2 minutes between the end of the video and starting the report itself.

    Hi all, I got a message confirming my place for stage 2. I am wondering. How long after taking notes do you get to write up the actual report??? The career service online material states 30 minutes. But I thought that was a bit long?

    30 mins from the end of the note taking :)

    I’ve checked over PAS etc and I can’t find anywhere that it mentions a timescale for results for part 2.
    It was mentioned that interviews would likely start in September so surely we would hear at the start of September with one time to prepare ? I’m reslly nervous that I’ve made a mess of stage 2 so the wait is killing me

    You will get at least 3 weeks notice for the interview stage. Stages 1-3 seem to come around within weeks of eachother. Your talking months/years from stage 4- entering the college.
    You may Get used to the waiting around.
    It's a killer but everyone's in the same boat. Try to relax.

    You hardly know why it's so quick form stage 1 to strage 3? I assumed from stage 1 on wards was a long wait.

    Because it's PAS that deal with stages 1-3 then it's all in the hands of HRM....

    Does anyone at stage 2 know when people would be starting in the college if they get through all the stages? Looking on here it seems like some people have been waiting over a year and still haven't entered

    I was sat at the back for the report writing and I really could not hear it. The speaker only being at the front is very unfair. I knew that if I wanted to say anything it had to be there and then, I hate complaining though!
    I feel I did really well on everything else and I was absolutely gutted after that. I know there is next year but it means so much and I worked so hard for it and literally so much stress and bad news in my family right now. I really need the boost of moral for me and everyone and the security that comes with the job.
    I'm sure I'm not the only person with other stressful things going on or that this means a lot to. If I don't get it this year though I will keep applying until they freeze recruitment again or I hit 35. Whichever happens first. I know I would be a brilliant Garda I really give a damn about people and love helping people I just need to get to interview to show them that. So frustrating as so close but could be so far


    I had the exact same problem, sat at the back and found it very difficult to hear. I'm resigned to the fact I prob missed out this year. Gutted. Probably my last chance too considering my age.

    I was told the 2018 batch would be going into Templemore late 2019/early 2020, but others have had different told to them, so can't really be sure.

    And does anybody know when approximately the medicals will start for those in the first hundreds of the OOM? The sergeant at the presentation has said that the interviews could begin in october, but no idea about the next stages (hoping to get there, of course)

    I think he said September / October interview
    January fitness
    March medical
    Rough estimate

    Did you do a career services course?
    The trick is while the audio is playing you take all information down in short hand, mostly abreveations writing letters like 'F' for female so on, taking extra care when writing phone numbers for accuracy. When the audio stops you have 30 minutes to compile your report from your rough work.

    Your rough work will NOT be marked. So any thing you have on your rough work sheet won't go towards your scoring. It needs to be in your report. You will however have to hand up the rough work at the end, your not allowed to take any paperwork outside the test centre.

    So sorry, I should have stated that I have the C.S. online material.

    I guess I just need to write some more abbreviations that I can understand. More practices is needed as well. However, that goes without saying..


    Just as a side note. Thanks for all the help, that you're providing FIVE.0. It is very nice to have someone's perspective who has gotten through all the stages in a previous campaign. I am sure everyone else appreciates your assistance as much as I do. :) Thank you.
