Does anybody have any recommendations for this particular course for the CBI and briefing interviews?

Hi there I currently have an application with them now, I have passed the OAC previously, and I am transferring my results from West Yorkshire to GMP. Just waiting on interview date. I have had an interview with West Yorkshire previously but wasn’t successful in the interview but have a good idea of how it works and how I went wrong (due to nerves)🫣😂

Be as confident as possible and try to stick to the STAR Structure as much as possible as they really look at how you structure your answers

is it quite easy to get into the GMP and MET as long as you just pass your OAC?

To be honest I’m not sure I am currently applying to GMP but I missed the OAC as I have already passed it with another force therefore I can skip the process and get straight to the interview stage which I am doing now with GMP just waiting for an interview date.

Hi, did you have to wait a certain period of time before applying?? Because the same happened to me, I wasn’t successful in the interview with the met but passed everything else so have now applied to GMP but i’m wondering whether there’s a certain amount of time i have to wait or no?
