If you have a degree in any subject, you can join and follow a work-based programme, support by off the job learning. This route normally takes two years, and the learning you have undergone is recognised in a graduate diploma in professional policing practice when you complete your probation.

Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship (PCDA) - Probation period is three years

Join as a constable and follow an apprenticeship in professional policing practice – you earn as you're learning.

This route normally takes three years with both on and off the job learning. On successfully finishing the programme, you’ll complete your probation and achieve a degree.
