The CKP: What Volunteers Need to Become Certified Police Officers

Before one can obtain a CKP, an aspiring police officer must first undergo a training and assessment course provided by trusted College of Policing approved providers such as Police Knowledge. The course lasts for about 300 hours and is a mixture of classroom and self-study.

All College of Policing approved providers conduct an assessment test, which trainees should pass to obtain certification. The test varies between each provider, although the level of difficulty is consistent to meet the required knowledge and skills proper to members of the police force.
