    Anyone thinking of applying for a mainland home office force if they are unsuccessful with PSNI should definitely consider it. I'm almost 2 years in with the Met and have completed all stages of 1509. Although it is not a proper transfer, you will remain on the nearest pay scale. For me that should mean starting PSNI training on about 4/5k more than usual.

    You'll also get a head start with developing communication skills and knowledge as a lot of legislation in England and Wales is very similar or the same to NI.

    It is a different style of Policing but it's invaluable experience which can be transferred or adapted to suit NI.

    Will we have to complete the full 22 week training course? Seeing as Scottish legislation differs in parts, I expect I would need to at least.

    Yes unless you are actually a transferee anyone that goes through needs to do the 22 weeks although as above you do get kept on nearest payscale.

    Ideal, thank you. Just when I thought I was done with the "Yes sir" "No sir" game ;)

    Bit disappointed to hear that it's been pushed back, although it does offer more hope to them reaching my barely scraped past AC score from this campaign. Determined to score higher in the next campaign

    From what I hear the reason it has been pushed back is so they can can justify recruiting more officers by overlapping the recruitment budgets for 2017 and 2018

    Personally I read a lot of books wrote by Richard munn on policing and they had it spot on. I just noticed he has recently released a specific PSNI recruitment book (check ebay).

    I would highly recommend them and put my high AC score down to those books. They literally tell you what key sentences to say in the AC like "I will take full responsibility in seeing any action through and keep you updated throughout the investigation process"

    Gets you thinking in a way that turns the key competencies into sentences to be said during the role plays, also explains what way the report should be wrote.
    I wouldn't touch Richard McMunn with a barge pole, he just regurgitates information that is freely available elsewhere.

    Hit the nail on the head. Had a few of his books. 2 of them went in the bin and if I ever see the other one I wasted my money on it will be going in the bin too.

    My mate swore by it for AOSB Main board and failed both times as well as relying on them for the AC which he again failed.

    This is 100% bang on as im in the same sitiatuon as you and the knowledge you learn is second to none in my opinion. I would def say 90% of the skills you learn are transferable to PSNI.

    Will definitely be going for it this time around. Stuck my name in last year but didn't go to IST. I made the decision to go to uni and have quickly realised that it's not for me, so the plan is to stay in uni and hope and pray that I make it.
