Hi SuzanT, I too have done all stages up to the assessment centre and now just training for my bleep test. Do you know what comes after that? Is there a force interview or is it just vetting and start date? also do you know how long the vetting usually takes?Thanks.

Hi all. Having just been through the lengthy process for applying for a similar scheme, I found a useful FB page that helps with police recruitment. If you're interested you can search 'Bluelight Police Recruitment, Assessment Centre and Career Support Group' on Facebook and request to join.
Best of luck for your applications, I am starting a Detective scheme in a few weeks so let me know if you have any questions

I think its medical followed by vetting and then you get your unconditional offer. So your nearly there! So did not have to do the in force detective assessment then? I thought after passing the day one assessment DC candidates then had to do a further in centre assessment 🤔

Its definitly a career i want so much, so if I failed I won't give up. I'll try again. Is there any tips you can give for the in centre assessment? Will be much appreciated. Who knows maybe we will end up working together one day!

Oh, I did all 4 stages.
SJT
Interview
Written exercise
Briefing exercise
And I think once you pass this then we go onto the next stage which is a further DC assessment you sit in a centre. Is that the one you did? I found that the briefing exercise was the hardest.

What was the hardest part of the briefing exercise? Was it answering for 3 minutes? Or not having enough time to consider the answers?

I failed my online assessment sadly, but it was because I accidently submitted the written part early without completing it otherwise I passed all other sections. Hoping to re take it. Good luck

Hello there,
Hope you can help me out
I filled in the application for eligibility and got the answer that I passed. I then filled in the rest of the application following the link they give you. That was at the beginning of February and haven't heard anything back since. Is it normal? If I pass, they say I should receive another link with the online assessment bit.

Does anyone know if there is a Final Interview for the MET?
I have completed my OAC, So the next stages, if I passed, I was advised were Medical/Fitness and then Security & Vetting.

I think there is a face to face interview before the vetting and medical. But not 100 percent sure. How did you find the online assessment?

With the Written I had read that the average time to complete it was 40 minutes, but I took the whole 2 hours. Perhaps I did plump it up a bit but I thought it was best to write more than less.
With the Briefing, I had read that you have 10 minutes to read and make notes but I took a lot longer and I pressed continue when I was ready to. I read on a FB forum that you can have as long as you need to make notes. That's what I was most scared of, not being able to get my thoughts down.
Also, when I emailed the CoP, they said I can make notes on paper or another note taking device, so I was planning to type my notes as my handwriting when panicked is like a doctors....but on the notes before I started the exercise it said I could make hand-written notes! I struggled reading what I had wrote, but from the Neighbourhood policing documents I studied on the CoP website, I pretty much had my answers covered.
