CPS/EPS Education Standards
Hi,
I am a police officer currently serving with West Mercia Constabulary, I have 8 years service. I left school when I was 16 and have a few GCSE's, my question is am I going to struggle to meet the education requirements for CPS or EPS as they state that you need to have complete 12th Grade? Has anyone else been successful at getting in with little or no qualifications prior to joining the police?
Thanks

I think that if you did full time school right through to completing GCSE's that is covered.
On CPS specifically for UK officers this is what it states;
Preferred qualifications
* Minimum of two years post secondary education and/or consistent employment history.
* Volunteer experience in the community.
* Work experience involving a position of responsibility and trust.
* Duties that involve significant interaction with the public.
* Applied knowledge of computers including but not limited to Windows, Word, Outlook, etc. and basic keyboarding skills.

Hope that helps

And, to be honest, all the bloomin' courses you have completed since becoming a police officer go some way to proving your 'education' too ! I'm sure you would be fine.
