I have been in the process for some time now and like many others are waiting for a start date for Hants which will not be announced until after April 2009! After speaking with a friend who is a current serving officer in Sussex he has really sold the idea to look at going for the Met where I am told they would be keen to get me started. Our concern is that it has been at least 15 months since my Assessment Centre Pass for Hants and although I scored over 60% would this pass still be valid for a possible switch to the MET? Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of this or any advice? I will call recruitment tomorrow but would love to hear from any of you guys if …

Hey anyone up there tomorrow i have my final at 9.45

I sat my first SET July 2006 and failed on the maths paper. I have just sat another SET/fitness on 16 November 08 and passed the fitness test no problems but I am not confident on the information handling part this time. My question is, do they take in to consideration how I did on the first SET a couple of years ago ?.

JUst got my assessment centre results back and got 58%. I was kind of relieved because I came out thinking I may have got the lowest score anyones ever got ever, but obviously gutted that in reality i only missed out by 2%. I'm a bit confused about parts of it though so if anyone could explain some stuff to me that would be great. My brief breakdown was: Overall 58% Respect for R&D 67% Oral Communication 87& Written Communication 89% D in R&D: No. Is the Overall score simply taking into account all the competancies assessed during interview and role plays?

To All: If any of you are starting at Hendon soon and need accomodation then myself and my girlfriend have a double room in our flat in St.Albans available. We are both in the job, I'm at Hendon at the moment, she is in TVP. The flat is nice and about 30 mins drive from Hendon. If interested call 07854582288.

Im starting my training at Cambridgeshire Constab on the 8th of Dec, Im coming from York and wont know anyone! I'll be a billy no mates! So just wondering if anyone else is starting on the same date and what you were doing for accommodation? I would rather rent a flat with another Police officer because of shift work etc. ~If not anyone know a website where I can meet new starters>? Cheers ,Sam

I may just be being very silly, but i dont seem to be able to find any information about Met Training for PC's. Some places i read its in Orpington, others Hendon, some 31 weeks, some 27 weeks, some residential some not. If you have any information about how Met training takes place it would be much appreciated! Thanks Laura

Just looking for some info, on what you do at jackton during your first week?

This is about the Competancy based interview. According to the info pack they will be asking just 5 questions, with each question requiring an answer no more than 5 minutes long. Does this mean I need to give one long answer or will there be sub questions?? Thanks
