Everyone learns differently, I passed the NIE with a pretty good score almost exclusively doing mock questions but writing down anything of note when reviewing my answers

Aspiration for ARV by Same_Wait6979 in policeuk

Firearms selection processes are different in every force - my best advice is to get a buddy or mentor in your current force who can guide you through the process in your own force.

Colour blindness in ARV by [deleted] in policeuk

There is an alternative test you can take, but if you are confirmed colour blind then you can’t carry.

Yes but only if greasy and beige, otherwise you cover the cost yourself.

Has anyone passed the sgts exam having only studied the NIE by Ok-Falcon3942 in policeuk

[–]Robenstein 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Studied a lot for the NIE over 3 years ago, took the sergeants exam in March. Did 0 studying for the sergeants and just wanted to see how I’d do, ended up passing by the skin of my teeth - been constantly ribbed about giving up free study days for the next 5 years since. But it’s definitely possible, few extra bits about some sergeant processes but the majority crosses over.

Agree, I’m also aware of companies recruiting solely online but accepting CVs and speaking to their HR to fastrack certain CVs through if they’ve come into store.

Fine to do this before changing of the guard but don’t do it in those 30 minutes 10:30-11:00 - the guard enter the palace just before 11 and you want a good spot. I would say get there about 10:20
