Police Assessment Centre Course : Hampshire Police

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

We’ve added two further police assessment centre training courses to be held on Sun 21st March and Sat 1st May in Hampshire. This is an ideal location for candidates who are attending their assessment centre with Hampshire Police or surrounding forces in March or May.

Full details of the training course can be found at: http://www.policeapplication.co.uk/services/1-day-course/

The course covers all aspects of the role-plays, written proposals and structured competency interview as these account for 95% of the marks available. The course includes a comprehensive 200 page course manual with practice exercises; these reflect exactly the same skills as those required on your assessment day. Lunch is also provided.

Candidates should not be concerned with the Maths test as this only accounts for 2.5% of all marks available – and there is NO pass mark required for this test.

Practice Police Assessment Role Play and Written Proposal Exercise

Friday, February 12th, 2010

Are you concerned about the role play or written proposal exercises?  Practice exercises are now available from £5.99 each; it’s never been easier to learn, develop and practice the skills required to become a police officer or PCSO.

Each exercise has been carefully written to reflect the same skills as those required to evidence at assessment centre. The role plays come complete with exercise brief (the information you read prior to entering the room); the role actor scripts, so you can gain an insight into their behaviour and responses; plus the behavioural checklist (answers) so you can identify which skills are lacking and then of course work on those that need attention.

The written exercises again contain the exercise brief, plus we also provide you the behavioural checklist (answers) and a fully completed proposal document to give you an idea of layout and how to keep it simple…

It’s absolutely vital if you are going to pass you understand how this process works. Either prepare, or prepare to fail!

Army Resettlement courses to help you become a police officer

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

A vast number of our clients are from those leaving the armed forces, whom wish to join the police service as police officers or PCSO’s.

We provide initial application form guidance and checking – this ensures that your form meets the required competency standard and avoids rejection at this early state of the recruitment process.

Once your application has been accepted and confirmation that it has met the required standard you are then called to attend an assessment centre. We can then offer you either a one to one assessment centre course, or if you prefer you can attend one of our group sessions that we run throughout the country. These courses are designed to teach and further develop your ability to perform role-plays, written proposals, complete a structured competency interview, numerical reasoning test, and verbal logical reasoning test. We teach you all the necessary skills to evidence your understanding of team working, resilience, problem solving, personal responsibility, race and diversity, community and customer focus, and effective communications. We run over 100 courses per annum and over 90% of our clients pass their assessment centre – our results speak for themselves.

A full 200 page course manual is provided. This provides sufficient material to  practice further role-plays, written proposals, structured interview, as well as practice maths and verbal logical reasoning tests

Full details about each of the courses are listed below:

…Life changing

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

I normally prefer to keep my blog strictly professional and somewhat emotion free. Yesterday however I was touched by a comment from one of my clients.

He had taken the time and expense to travel from London to attend my Birmingham police assessment centre course. At the end of the day he was thrilled with what I had taught him, in fact the course delivered way beyond his expectations. During this conversation he explained that while he was driving to the venue, he believed that by attending he was embarking on a life changing experience. It was this comment that really touched me.

For me teaching clients is my job and I am always constantly striving to improve the way I deliver courses, but up until yesterday I never really thought that what I do can be life changing. I suppose in this difficult recession time, there are some clients whom as a result of my police training and of course their hard work, successfully commence a life changing career.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my clients for their business, and if by seeking my assistance I have changed their lives, then rest assured I am equally grateful because by using my services, they too have contributed towards changing my life for the better.

I sincerely thank you all.

David Vidgen
Recruitment Director
