Qualifications needed to join the police force

[j.b]

Hi
for a while now i've been thinking about a career in the police force and i know that to join up you need to have certain (G.C.S.E) qulifications.

My question is, in terms of qualifications i got a higher grade in every single subject except for gsce language in which i got a D. I want to know will this D prevent me from joining up? or can exceptions be made.

Don't worry,your D will not make any difference in fact according to the following extract from Nothumbria Police website you don't need any qualifications:

Formal academic qualifications are not essential.


All applicants must pass the initial recruitment test which covers basic education and observation skills.


However, you may find it beneficial to have at least two GCSE grade C qualifications

Your biggest problem at the moment is few forces are currently recruiting. Check out the website of the force you're considering joining. Most have a recruitment section with appropriate info.

arrogance, bwfcolinh58?
So what do you do for a living then? I've met arrogant doctors, lawyers, teachers, painters, plumbers, waiters, actors, in fact in every possible trade, profession or whatever, there are arrogant people. Including YOU!!!
