Police Now Graduate Scheme

Hey
Has anybody else applied for the police now graduate scheme?
Just put through my initial application now

Sounds.. unnecessary. This will get backlash from Police Officers who know what the job is actually like as this is the type of career in which you should climb the ladder.
There is already a graduate scheme which does need to be ironed out to sort problems.

I'll be applying to the Police in the standard way, graduate scheme their is just an extra.

On the Police Now scheme you start as an officer and finish, after two years, still being a police officer so idk why current police officers would have any issue with it And even if they do, I don't think that's a good enough reason to not go for it if someone's interested (my aunt works in the police and she says some people she works with are always moaning about new recruits for one reason or another , imo whether someone's applying for Police Now or the fast track grad scheme it's best to shrug the negativity off and just prove yourself once you get in the role, rather than miss out on the opportunity because some current officers may grumble about it.)

Hi 'Purple_Penguin', I've applied likewise, just awaiting to do the online assessment stages....Good luck & Let us know how you get on...

Oh & well said 'Marie08', I agree entirely

Hey
I did the online tests today. Let me know how you found them when you get them done

I had a chat with someone in the Met and the scheme seems well-planned so i hope it works well.. Were they psychometric tests e.g numerical reasoning and/or situational judgement tests?

Hi,

I'm also applying for the Police Now graduation scheme. Today I just finished the 3 online assessments..just a series of questionnaires set up to get an idea of how you are in the workplace. Now awaiting a response for the next stage. Goodluck to all!

PS, have any other graduates thought of applying to the Met through other routes other than Police Now? (Fast Track College of Policing, special constables, ordinary route etc). I'm quite curious as @Purple_Penguin is just to know how popular this scheme really is. Thanks

Hi, my 3 tests went o.k (took these tests recently before, as they use the same test in many Forces, when applying to the regular police officer route as well, so who know practice might make perfect lool). As it stands, I've passed the regular route and just booked a 'Day-1 assessment' (early-December).....But atm, awaiting the outcome of the 'police-now' test, and will let you know how that goes....

Hi, nothing numerical is involved at this online stage (yet, subsequent 'Day-1 assessments' have an average/basic maths test involved), just 3 (1. Behavioural, 2. Situational Judgment Test, and 3. London Factor assessment), all about work; standards, values, approach, diversity, attitudes, etc.

Good Luck

Hi yes, I'm likewise applying through a variety of routes (atm; via the 'regular' and 'police-now'), but also awaiting for the fast track scheme to start (opens; early-November).
Although, I am aware however, that had all routes been open at the same time, I'd only simply need to apply for the main two (fast-track and police-now), as even if you don't quite make the mark in these assessments, then ones application can then be refferred to the regular-route nonetheless (and thereafter loool, apply for fast-tracking internally.....)

All the best, with your applications

Hey Ebonymay,

No haven't heard anything back since completing the online tests.

Have you been invited to an assessment day?
