Garda Recruitment Process
What Does the Garda Recruitment Process Involve?
The Garda Trainee competition attracts a very high volume of applicants. The selection process is comprehensive, spanning a number of stages that include aptitude tests, assessments, and exercises designed to identify the most suitable candidates. Only the highest performing candidates at each stage will progress, with numbers called forward determined by the intake capacity of the Garda College.
Applications
Applications for the Garda Trainee competition are submitted through the Public Appointments Service at www.publicjobs.ie. The Public Appointments Service acts as the centralised recruiter for An Garda Síochána and manages the selection process on their behalf.

Eligibility requirements are published at the start of each campaign in a document called Notes for Candidates, available to download from publicjobs.ie
