Prepare for Garda Assessment Tests
The competition for the selection of Garda Trainees attracts a very high number of applicants with thousands applying in every campaign. Accordingly, the selection process to become a Garda Trainee is rigorous, with candidates required to undertake a range of relevant assessment tests and exercises over a number of selection stages.
Applicants are firstly invited to the Stage 1 Garda Aptitude Tests – a series of online aptitude tests and assessments. Over the past number of years the aptitude tests have included verbal tests, numerical reasoning tests and personality assessments. Stage 1 is highly competitive. There is a high failure rate. But, if you are well prepared you can be successful in Stage 1. Preparation is recommended and important not only to meet the minimum standard in these tests but to maximise your scores. The higher you place, the faster you move through the process. Therefore, familiarising yourself with the style of tests ensures that you give your best performance when it counts.

Career Services specialise in preparing candidates for the different stages of Garda Recruitment
Stage 1 Preparation
Stage 1 of the Garda Recruitment Campaign includes online aptitude tests which are remotely proctored (supervised) on a laptop or PC. This is one of the most competitive stages and has the highest failure rate.
Stage 2 Preparation
Stage 2 of the Garda recruitment process is a Competency-Based interview in front of a panel. The interview is based on predefined competencies.
Stage 3 Preparation
Stage 3 of the Garda recruitment process is a physical competency test and passing cannot be taken for granted, even if you consider yourself fit and healthy as the physical competency test is very challenging.
