Hi, I would like to know how does the real numerical reasoning test compare with the examples given in the NPIA information for candidates booklet at the back. As these are easy enough but I feel the real one must be of a higher calibre surely??. I ask as I purchased one of the books from Amazon and the ones in there are a lot harder but I am not sure if that is so if you prepare for those you will fly through the real ones or that's actually the standard. Cheers.

Hi Does anyone know the stipulations on Post Natal depression? Is it treated the same as other depressions as I suffered a mild form of it after having my little girl but wondered how they looked at this matter as according to my doctor around 70% of women suffer some sort of 'baby blues' or post natal depressionafter having a baby and all settles down

For the purpose of a pre-vetting I would like to check my credit rating, does anyone know of the most reliable and accurate source to use for this matter? Thank you

Hi all, I have passed the application process and been given a couple of possible A/C days. I have seen people referring to grades for their applications, when do you get these as I haven't received any? Also I understand GMP do taster days , are these for everyone or are they just positive action days? Cheers...

Evening folks, does anybody know when the met are going to be recruiting again. Thanks

Is nigh on impossible. Been trying all day and the phone just rings out. Im trying the main number again but they seem to just give out direct numbers... and I have a pub to get to

I'm looking to apply for the Strathclyde Police Force in the future and I'm seeking advice with regard to convictions. I was done for drink driving on 11/11/2003. I received a 15 month driving ban along with a £400 fine which I followed out. I also received a letter from the procurator fiscal with regard to urinating in a street one evening (which I am a shamed of) but I dont have the dates to disclose this. Is their anyone I could contact to find the exact dates to disclose it in my application. I have sent away to check my records via the police force and this warning wasnt on it but I wouldnt like to fail because I didnt disclose this or the vetting uses other recor…

I have an unusual question (well I think so)! I had a skiing accident in Jan of this year and hurt my shoulder. I then had my Day 1 (Met) at the end of Jan. I went to my doctor in February as my shoulder was still hurting.I had some physio and the doctor referred me to a specialist. I had my day 2 in March and told occ health the truth and that I had an appointment with a specialist and that the injury was not stopping me doing my job. I am a firefighter and have not had any time of work because of the injury. The Nurse went to the occ health doctor and he said that as I was still at work as a fire fighter which is obviously a very manual job, he was happy and said the i…

Had to defer my entry from April until the 29th of June intake for the MET just wondered if anyone else had their start date in June yet ?!

I've been waiting for about 2 months for my vetting to come through, just for an Admin job, and was horrified to receive a letter this week saying that my vetting was 'unsatisfactory'. I'm really upset because I cannot think of anything in my background or that of my family that would have affected my chances. I've asked for more information but they've not come back to me yet, can anyone tell me whether they are obliged to disclose the details of where I have failed, or am I going to just be left not knowing what has affected my chances of this job, and also any future jobs that require full vetting processes.

Hi all Can anyone tell me how long of a break you get between the warm up to level 3 and the actual 5.4 bleep test please? Or am I correct n thinking you just carry on straight from the warm up into the actual test? Many thanks Ky

Hi Can anyone help me? How long does the assessment centre results last for? I thought it was 18 months I could be wrong and it could be a year. I failed by 1% for Lincs nearly 18 months ago. I'm hoping have some evidence that it is 18 months and transfer if possible.
