This year the PAS are using a much more simplified application at the initial stages. When you apply for the position of Garda Trainee 2022, you are only required to complete a simple application form that requires basic information from you.

The much more detailed Interview Form will only be required for candidates that have passed Stage 1 and Stage 2 and are called forward to the Stage 3 Competency interview. As discussed at our Q&A Sessions, this Competency Based Interview Form is an essential reference document for the panel interview.

Did you know that a significant part of the Stage 3 Competency Interview is based on the detail you provided in your Interview Form. Neglecting or glossing over the detail required in this Form is where many people unwittingly let themselves down.

You will be expected to match your experience to the competencies set out for the Garda Trainee role.

Attention to detail in your Interview Form is vital and from excellent spelling and grammar to succinct, structured information, you will be shown how to best communicate your strengths.

GardaIP can help maximise your application to best showcase your skills and abilities, and emphasise how they translate well into the role of a Garda.
