I am informed by the Garda authorities that the training period for new staff members at the Garda Central Vetting Unit is for a duration of 12 weeks including on-the-job training with intensive Quality Control. This is the standard training programme for all new personnel allocated to work at the Garda Central Vetting Unit.

The programme provides in-depth training in relation to the Garda Vetting system and includes training on the Garda PULSE system, Criminal Records system and the Garda Central Vetting Unit computerised systems.
