There was very little in terms of educational requirement to join the police when I did, I did the simple, school, college work routine. Sadly, in the upcoming years you will require a university education (level 4 or above) within the UK to even be considered for a role within the police.

Why do you say sadly when the educational requirements of the police force will increase?

You don't need a university degree to show you're competent, someone with a good mindset and life experience is key, not someone who knows that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

It's a stupid requirement, you learn through experience, training and getting your ass out there.

The test you take to get in is literally GCSE C level maths.

Happens very often, although I do like free stuff. We always pay it back one way or another.

We once had a petrol station manager who always gave us free drinks. No matter the cost, we eventually felt bad and went inside, dropped £50 into his hands and literally ran away. He started to chase us!

Is the entry test new or was that always in place regardless of this new change to require uni degrees?

Also you could do a degree in policing such as those offered at Northumbria uni

It can be any type of degree that is equivalent to a level 4. And yes, there always was tests.

You need maths at a GCSE C level, or whatever the number is now since they've changed everything.

That's mandatory now in education anyway.

ye and i find it dumb cause failing maths is enough to screw you over for a lifetime, some people at least

legit the job im striving for has nothing to do with maths, but im still required to take the exam or say goodbye to my future goals
