Well done pal, great to hear!

How was the final interview? I presume a lot is just personality gauging but is there anything you would advise to prepare for in particular?D

Done my Assessment at the start of Nov, good luck with your results. I done a final interview for PCSO a few months ago, but ultimately waited to do PC route instead, i was successful in the PCSO interview. It was pretty laid back to be fair - competency based questions.

Thank you! I best get the prep out again.

Good luck with your chosen route and well done for passing the PCSO interview!

It wasnt too bad to be honest it was over skype. lasts around 30 minutes. I would just make sure you check out their website and learn about the force, and also have a lot of competency examples ready to mention!
Awesome mate, well done. Any preference of area? Still waiting for my results.

Liverpool or Sefton! How about you?
Have you applied for PCDA route or DHEP? Also do any of you happen to know if and when you can give preferences of where to be based?

You can give a preference, but they stick you wherever they want. I'm based in Liverpool, but have friends who are stationed in the Wirral..

Just found out I passed the assessment stage! Absolutely made up! I'll get an email in approximately 4 weeks that will have a link to book a time for an interview slot.

Any of you guys know how long in advance from the email with the link you can book your interview slot?

Hi! Huge congrats on passing! I had my email about my results end of Nov (it said the same thing, expect an email in around 4 weeks etc) but I had my email to book my interview this week so much quicker than expected. I’m sure it won’t be long! My interview is early next week.
