Qualification to become a UK police officer

Hey am 15 years old and am about to do my GCSEs
Am planning to become a police officer in the future.

Some people told me to do A-levels such as Sociology, Law and Physical Education and after that am not sure what to do ?

I’m pretty sure they do apprenticeships, policing degree or any degree and then a graduate police scheme

Oh.. just that I’m not sure if I can do an apprenticeship and not sure which one to do.

I searched up and it said A levels are fine too, with physical education

Yes alevels are good and they give a good base you can do degree apprenticeship after alevels to get directly into policing

Or a normal degree it’s really up to whatever u feel

3 that’s the standard of what everyone does and it will keep ur options more open in case u want to go to uni or change career etc

Oh okay thanks a lot

I was just wondering if I could move to the United States from UK and work for them in policing? Would that work

Hey

I was thinking doing Law and Pe for 2 A levels and I think 3 A levels would be too hard for me, as I don’t really fancy sociology.. and to apply for policing you can have 2 Alevels so is that fine?
