Police & security services; Police procedures; Advice on careers & achieving success

An essential handbook for all those involved in the Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship (PCDA), guiding student officers through the End Point Assessment (EPA). In a supportive and easy-to-read format, it provides invaluable advice around this complex process.

Suitable for police officer apprentices, police trainers, university lecturing staff and independent assessors, it ensures learners fully understand the requirements of the EPA and how best to meet these, providing support throughout their PCDA programme and enabling them to pass first time and achieve the highest possible grade. It is also a valuable tool ensuring all involved have the required knowledge and understading of the EPA at the start of and during the programme. Examples of good practice, case studies and opportunities for critical self-reflection help develop key academic study skills. It also takes a collaborative, learner-focused approach with reference to the employer (police force), the training provider (university) and the apprentice.

Reviews for The Essential Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship EPA Handbook

I have been working on the Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship for over 5 years and fully appreciate that the process can feel very daunting for those about to embark on a policing career or who have just started the policing apprenticeship. This book considered the full range of questions asked by apprentices and put them together in a well set out companion that will accompany them through the whole process. It also provides a lot of key information for those involved in the teaching and management of the programme. It is structured in an easy-to-follow method that builds and develops the apprentice as they progress through the programme. Most importantly, it allows the apprentice to plan ahead and address any potential concerns. There are a lot of useful tips and tasks that help prepare the apprentice for key aspects of the programme as well as case studies to highlight good practice. I would highly recommend this book for anybody involved in the Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship. -- Paul Berry * Retired Police Superintendent, former Principal Lecturer, and experienced Independent Assessor for the Police constable Degree Apprenticeship *
