COURSE DATES AND LOCATIONS
Dates for CKP and assessment preparation courses are different. CKP’s are usually only run near to forces that actually require it (for obvious reasons). With regards to assessment preparation courses, we tend to go to the more popular venues every six weeks or so, the less popular ones may be several months apart. Note also that whilst these venues are the ones we normally use, on some occasions we may have to use another nearby venue if our normal choice is already booked up. When that happens we have a back up venue a few miles away at most.
Remember that the police CKP and assessment centre is now identical nationally, so it does not matter whereabouts you take your TalkingBlues course. If you know in advance when your assessment centre is roughly, let us know and we can advise you of future course dates.
Our usual venues include, (but may change so check the instructions we send you)
