College of Policing Online Assessment Process Overview

In response to the current pandemic and to meet the requirements of social distancing, the College of Policing have developed an online assessment process that enables effective assessment of the required competencies and values that are important for Police Constables, and meets the current standards for assessing new recruits. To ensure consistency and fairness to candidates the online assessment process will remain in place throughout the remainder of 2020.

In order to fully understand this new process, we have put together this walkthrough so that you can see what to expect at each stage of your application.

The online assessment process
The online assessment process is a staged process that consists of up to four exercises over three stages. The process is broken up as follows:

Stage 1 – Situational judgement test (SJT)
This test measures your ability to choose the appropriate action in situations similar to those you are likely to face as a police constable. This test will measure your judgement and ability to make effective decisions against the CVF
Approximate time to complete: 30 minutes

Stage 2 – Competency-based video interview
Candidates who pass stage 1 are invited to take stage 2 immediately.
You will be asked a series of questions about how you have dealt with specific situations in the past. This is your opportunity to provide some examples of the key competencies and values that are important for police constables. You can use examples from both your work and your personal life.
Approximate time to complete: 35 minutes

Stage 3 – Written exercise and briefing exercise
In this exercise, you will assume the role of a police constable and will have to complete an urgent written task for your line manager. You will receive four items of information to help you with this task.
Successful candidates will be invited to take stage 3, which will consist of two separate exercises.
Approximate time to complete written exercise: 45 minutes
Approximate time to complete briefing exercise: 45 minutes

Required Technology
You can complete the exercises on any internet-enabled device with a camera (laptop, tablet or phone), but to ensure full compatibility with the online platform, the following should be set up.
Your operating system should be Windows 7 (or higher) or Mac OS 10.11 (or higher).
Your browser should be the latest version of Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Safari (Apple products only).
You should have the latest version of Adobe Flash installed, and you require a webcam and microphone to record responses.
