The Garda Recruitment Process
Garda recruitment is highly competitive and normally involves several selection stages:

- Stage 2 – Competency-Based Interview
- Stage 3 – Fitness Test
Understanding the process and preparing early gives you more time to develop the skills being assessed, become familiar with the different test formats and approach each stage with greater confidence.
