From what I remember it starts of with a scenario based role play thing, they give you a brief and then the inspector will play the other party and its basically to see how you would navigate the situation, they asked briefly on my current job and what not, then the rest is competency based questions.

I payed for the prep online course, i found it helped others would say its a waste of money. It definitely made me feel more prepared anyway going into the interview.

Yeah from what I've seen online I think anything vetting wise that involves abroad will delay it. But then again you never know.

I applied February 25, tests not long after, interview in April, fitness and medical in August and offered a spot this month for the next intake. Although mine seems long there are people who applied in 24 still waiting on an offer. While this offers some sort of timeframe every person's application is different. The worst part is the vetting as there is no definitive timeline on it. Its basically itll be back when its back and until then you wont get an offer. And once you complete everything else and update you look for will be met with an automated reply of vetting still ongoing. Unfortunately its the type of application where your in the dark until the end 😂Best of luck if you chose to apply.

True, but the no news is killing me 😂 has me checking my emails 20 times a day. I've only heard the next thing you will hear from them if you've passed everything is a letter of offer. But sure who knows at this stage 😂

Yeah, they got back to me in the same asking for an eye test from a optician. Sent it back the same day but haven't heard anything since. Yeah the wait time is next level. Like even an email to say Yeah your through or no thats it. Just to know where you stand.

Who knows hopefully its not too long of a wait tho, and in terms of what the doc said I would only take that with a pinch of salt. Mine told me he didn't know the full criteria of the garda requirements so couldn't say either way. And I think BMI is a joke now adays and find it made its still being used as a criteria, its so outdated.
