Mintina, if you are not happy, there is only one person who can change that - you! I appreciate that that may sound harsh, but I, like many police officers got jaded as a cop, so after 14 years, I looked at alternatives after believing that I could not do anything also, and I am due to be a...

SimonRammy...............I'd DM you if only I could remember how!!! ??????

I had my medical on 3rd November. I know one or two on here have said patience is the key, but I am just wanting to get on with the training now and leave my current role. Exciting times ahead!

Hi mate, can I ask when the course starts? I'm currently waiting for a course date for a job at the Blackburn depot........hopefully there'll be a course in Manchester, but I have been told January. Fingers crossed I'll hear something soon.

Simonrammy: you Blackburn candidate? If so, keep in touch!

This was approx 2 weeks ago - I was advised that the courses are planned, but had not been confirmed. However, the likelihood of course not being finalised is pretty much non-existent.

I'm in a similar position - I booked a 2 week holiday for July 2017 on 14/7/16, and applied for this job on 22/7/16. I have been through all of the process and been successful - they did want me to start on 28/11/16, but I could make the medical date I was given, so I have been deferred...

Medical passed........just await the results of the drugs test!

Thanks for the advice guys. I may carry an extra couple of pounds, but nothing to concern me.........other than the BMI........always a stupid measure because of muscle mass.

I recently sat the tests at Doncaster, as I am currently going through the application process with Northern, who didn't require me to do the Report Writing test. Can I ask out of curiosity, how much does it cost to sit these tests?

I have my medical coming up this week, so I'' just after any advice as to what it entails: I suspect an eyesight test for distances and colours. I suspect an heating test. I suspect a blood pressure and heart rate test. Anything else? Also, what is suitable attire? I'' having a...

I was contacted a week last Friday (21/10/16) asking me if I could start on the course in 28/11/16. However, this did mean taking a medical on Thursday 27/10/16 which I could not make. However, my medical is coming up this week, and I have been advised that I am pencilled in for a start date...

Thanks for the info so far guys. I have no worries about making the jump, just initial concerns about taking the drop in pay, but the way I have rationalised this is that it is only short-term, and given that my mortgage has gone, I will take home the same amounts as I did when I was paying a...

SPADTrap..........you would be amazed as to how many experienced cops are looking to leave the service, and I can guarantee that they all say the same things: - the government don't care about us - the government are ruining our pay and conditions - the Federation don't fight for us - it's...

Hi all, I am pending a medical before appointment with Northern, but I was just wondering if there are any benefits which you can subscribe to similar to those as a cop e.g like the Federation, Group Insurance, and if there are additional such as life cover with the pension? Also,in terms of...

What an experience the assessment day is! I was told on the day that I have passed the assessment, so I am happy. I have also received an email today advising that I am an "on hold" candidate........what does this mean, and when can I expect to hear something?

Does anyone know how long the assessment day is, or have a rough breakdown of it?

Willi. My assessment day is on the 18th in Doncaster. It's bizarre, because I was hoping it would be Manchester, so I have had to plan ahead and book a hotel - I don't want to risk being late, and we all know what the M62 can be like in a morning! I really don't know what to expect, but I've...

I've had my interview and passed, so got an assessment day coming up. What happens if I get through that?

Can anyone guide me on what format the interviews take, and any sample questions? Thanks in advance.
