Hi, I really want to apply for RAF police once I meet the requirements which im on track to do in the near future and im just wondering, are all applications accessed/given a chance?

What do you mean by 'given a chance'?

All applications are considered, but can be suspended or rejected at any time if you don't meet the standards for that stage of the recruitment process.

Hi, thank you for the reply. By 'given a chance' I mean do all candidates get to show their ability or say if there's too many applicants are some rejected immediately but, I think you've answered my question by saying 'all candidates are considered', so Thanks.

Your question wasn't clear and technically you're a candidate once you're in the system. Actually, they can close recruitment for jobs if they have sufficient applicants; that would be first come, first served, so you don't go on a waiting list or anything if you try to apply after the cut-off, you aren't accepted and would have to reapply when it's open or look at another option.

Not all applications are progressed beyond the initial application.
The RAF are looking for a balance of academics/work experience/volunteering/extra-curriculars/fitness/hobbies.
Essentially, the more active, motivated, resililient, and determined to succeed you are, the more likely you are to progress.
The application process can be very lengthy, requiring patience and flexibility.
Call your local careers office for advice on your application, they will be more than happy to help.
