Depending on who you get as an instructor they may try to keep you near home as much as practical. You'll be out doing regular jobs broken up by a week of training here and there (at Hillside or Morris park) around 3 months in. In the middle of the 5th/early 6th month you get pulled from the road to do Interim testing for about 2 weeks. Pass or fired, so don't take it lightly and keep a good pace on the studying, you'll find you dont have to stare at the text for hours, but dont get comfortable and let it gather dust. You'll get randomly pulled into class to make sure you're progressing, some of the scores get reported to HR and if you dont appear to be taking it seriously, expect to have an uncomfortable meeting with HR and the Department  Chief. 

Thank you for all of this info!

Phase 1 is Wed 5:30-9:30 (usually at Hillside)

                   Sat 6:30-2:30 (usually out East-Babylon most likely.)
 

Phase 2 don’t plan on getting any time off.  If you are planning anything get the insurance in case you get the call.  

ok, thank you! Just curious, what is the schedule like during phase 2?

hi all! I have 2 questions:

What time and how long are the hours for phase 1 on Saturdays?

What is the schedule like for phase 2 and are we allowed to take off?

Thanks!!

Good morning! Has anyone heard any information on phase 1 yet?

 Good morning guys congratulations. I just had my signals and definitions overview this past Saturday it was intriguing. I know there's a lot of stuff  To study and remember any  Pointers you can give me that you used to prepare for the test. My test is November 16th. Thanks guys

Flash cards were a big help that's how I studied! Just have to study study study every day/night. You have to get a 100 on S&D and the definitions need to be remembered verbatim. Good luck!!

Good morning!! Had my panel interview on 10/11. Does anyone know how long it usually takes to hear back from them? Keeping my fingers crossed!!

Congrats bro! Were you in my class on the 7th? I was notified this week too. 

Congrats! No I took my exam on August 17th

HI everyone! Got the call that I passed S&D on Tuesday and I have my panel interview next month!! Could anyone give some tips and pointers? I read on here that they ask general questions and make you memorize some stuff before the interview. Is this still true?

Good luck to everyone that began Phase 1

Does anyone know how many indications or definitions we are allowed to get wrong on the s&d exam?
