Below is a list of course locations and dates we are currently booking for. To book a place, please click on the 'Book a course' buttons'. We tend to go to the more popular venues every six weeks or so, the less popular ones may be several months apart. For example, we run courses in Hatfield (Greater London) and Warrington (North West) pretty much every month. Others, such as Cardiff, Southampton and Newcastle are less frequent. 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.
When you attend is clearly a matter for yourself, but realistically will be a trade off between distance to travel, the amount of time before your assessment, and the amount of time you wish to prepare. Remember that the police 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.
