    Yeah I think I’m going to do one just to help settle the nerves and hopefully it helps me do good at AC and get a good merit list number hopefully!!!

    I am booked on to a class, £200 does seem expensive but if it helps get me higher up the merit list then its worth it for me. I know most of us could do it without their help but I think it will help with nerves etc for me knowing what is to be expected.

    150 I paid . Although 200 is steep it is worth every penny, they took my fail in the last campaign to a fast track in the 1810 campaign

    Does the fast track just speed up going through the PSNI stages?

    The course is absolutely not needed to get into the higher ML band so if it’s a little steep don’t worry about it.
    I didn’t do it and was in the sub 300 bracket.

    Wouldn’t do any harm going but the core competencies and structure to the AC are changing this year

    I agree 100% , you can get into the higher ML without it, but for me it really helped

    Has anyone received any information about the day in terms of a welcome pack at all? previously when it was a shopping centre role play they would issue a starter pack with some information about the centres various policies such as harassment and equal opportunities...stuff like that that you could learn in advance to help with the role play scenarios.I have my AC next week but there is no information like this with any of my emails.

    You are playing the role of a police officer in Rossgall police station, that's all that has been given.

    Again you don't need to revise or learn anything, just go about how you would want police to go about it if they were dealing with your granny

    The course is good, first half of the day is learning the CVF which you should already be doing. The 2nd half is practical which is probably the most beneficial in prepping for A/C. 1200 roughly pass A/C with only a very small number actually attending course. They aren't teaching anything you don't already know but anyone that attends should find it helpful

    Wouldn't have a notion, but out of the 2000 odd people who get to a/c, aprox 5-8% only go to the class.

    How is everyone feeling? I passed 1710 AC and all stages but got let down at the last hurdle (vetting). I didn’t do any studying for 1710 AC and passed in top500. This time I am studying competency’s and remembering what I did last time. If anyone has any Q’s feel free to ask as I’ve been through the whole process.

    What happened with your vetting, if you don't mind me asking?

    For 1810 AC results were issued in May 2019 with 2 sets of fast track emails going out in March and April 2019.

    Not too bad actually. Can’t give out much info but it wasn’t as terrifying as I thought it would be. Apply common sense and make good notes. Although not sure how well I did
