    I've got my interview next week and am just doing some research for it.

    Can anyone give me specific lengths and a brief description of the 5 stages of training and everything you can be expected to do/learn in that time.

    Is there any other useful sites besides the forum that'll provide good accurate information??

    Cheers guys

    "Basic training is divided into five phases and lasts a total of three years. Initially, students spend 22 weeks at the College, followed by a period of 24 weeks spent at selected stations under the direct supervision of tutorial staff. After further training at the College, students become members of the Service, empowered to enforce legislation the same as senior colleagues and are attached to stations, although remaining under probation for a further two year period."

    Phase 1 - 22 weeks

    Phase 2 - 24 weeks on the job training

    Phase 3 -Return to college, leave with powers

    phase 4 - More time on the job training

    phase 5 - return for final exams?

    General jist??
