Due to the Corona virus, we want to play our part in reducing risks to people, whilst still providing the opportunity for people to take part in our courses. Looking at all the advice, it would seem sensible and ethical for us not to run courses that involve gathering in one place such as a conference room.
The College of Policing are currently advising that police officer recruitment will switch immediately onto a NEW ONLINE system. This means that the current S.E.A.R.C.H. and MET DAY 1 systems are suspended.
The course and manual is SPECIFICALLY WRITTEN for NEW SYSTEM.
If you would prefer to attend a LIVE WEBINAR please see the product information box below.
It includes all of the presentations used live webinar, with professional presentations from a studio. You will also be able to listen to likely questions. Its supported by a 110 page manual. We also give you free access, should you need it, to ALL of our streamed video courses on the SEARCH system, and our SEARCH 160 page manual, should you need it. PLUS a free optional follow up zoom session. All for £49. Our Facebook page has screenshots of the sessions, and you can see the format in the videos below.
You can get full details of the contents of our courses by clicking the button below or for distance learning and other options looking at the product boxes further down the page.
If you are thinking of applying to become a police officer, you are probably aware how challenging the recruitment system can be. For 19 years, Talking Blues has been the largest specialist training provider of preparation courses to get you through your assessment, with a unique money back on the day quality guarantee. We run between 40 and 60 courses a year. We have been specifically commissioned to provide assessment preparation courses by five police forces, where they have sponsored BME candidates.
Talking Blues understands that your police career is important to you. Anyone can tell you what the process is about, or even help you get a certificate. That is not what we do. We help you think like a Police Officer so you can become a Police Officer. There is a significant difference between the two things. Helping you into your police career is our profession, which is why we have an actual office, and are listed at Companies House. It is also why we offer a money back on the day promise.
A key element of our course is our manual. This is a professionally printed and finished document, and contains, amongst other things:
Specimen exercises, notes and developmental actions to aid your preparation. You can get further information on what it contains by clicking here http://www.talkingblues.co.uk/our-course-manual/
The quality of our training is such that we have been chosen by a number of major UK forces to provide our assessment centre courses specifically to assist their female, BME and LGBT candidates maximise their chances of passing.
We look forward to helping you achieve your police career.
The Talking Blues team.
Our Training Director, former Inspector John McTaggart, pioneered police recruitment training. He has coached literally thousands of students through the recruitment process. As well as writing our 160 page course manual, he is also the author of “The definitive Guide to Passing the Police Recruitment Process” (available on Amazon).
What skills are the police service looking for?
Whatever system you are going to undertake as a candidate, you will be assessed against a number of skills and abilities. Under the online Stage 1 to 3 recruitment process, there are four values for example. These are then underpinned by six competencies. All of these are put into three clusters. The free video below explains these and the new exercises. The new system has used different words, but the bottom line is that the things a good police officer needs remain the same. Watch the short presentation for more information. We put the skills into a policing context for you as well. It’s not about buzzwords.
