During this phase, you will have the opportunity to undertake more advanced learning in core policing principles in one or more of the five core areas of policing practice:
- response policing
- policing communities
- policing the roads
- information and intelligence
- conducting investigations
Once learning has been successfully achieved in one of the core area(s), you will progress to demonstrate full independent competence in that area, by undergoing further work-based assessment.
On successful completion of all associated work-based assessment, you will become a Qualified Special Constable (QSC) in the core area(s) of policing practice chosen.
You must complete all the learning and receive a successful assessment in all five core areas of policing practice.
