Garda Sergeants are front-line supervisors and are at the rank above Garda. The most recent Garda to Sergeant promotion competition took place in 2021. This was the first year that the promotion process was was carried out under the remit of the Public Appointments Service rather than managed internally in An Garda Síochána. Applicants needed to have passed their Garda internal promotion exams in order to be eligible to apply to the competition.

Our preparation course features the highest quality aptitude test preparation and interview guidance for Garda to Sergeant promotion competitions. We are Ireland’s leading preparation course provider for Garda tests and interviews and have a long standing history of supporting members in their aptitude tests and interviews.
Garda Sergeant Test Preparation
We have been providing preparation courses for Garda entrance exams since the introduction of aptitude tests in 1987.
“I completed the Garda to Sergeant test today, I have to admit I found the test quite tough. However, without the help/assistance of Career Services I definitely would not have been in the right mindset for this test. Regardless of the outcome of my results I definitely found Career Services were almost exact with the style of test given on the day especially in relation to the Numerical tests. It can be hard to prepare for this style of test especially in relation to verbal tests and situational judgement tests, but if you persist with what’s available through Career Services you will not be shocked on the day when attempting the actual live test, your mindset will be ready for it. In relation to numerical tests I know for a fact I would have failed in this section if not for practicing over and over on the Career Services website. The examples provided are more than enough to get you over the line as the live test was extremely similar to the examples provided” – Brian (2021 Promotion Competition)
