The road to your promotion..

Police Promotion Frequently Asked Questions

What is this book about?

It’s a workbook designed to give you an edge over the competition and a much bigger chance of passing your police  promotion board sooner rather than later - is that worth having? If so please read on.

Who should invest in this eBook?

Any officer who wants to be promoted but is having, or may have, problems with:

1)  Not having an interview technique

2)  Not having a compelling structure

3)  Coming over as having no confidence

4)  Not really understanding the new role and what is important about it

5)  Not being able to build in worthwhile examples

6)  Not answering the question that was asked

7)  Floundering

8)  Doing a meaningless information dump

9) and many similar challenges!

Why would I want to invest in this?

Really, why would you not? For the cost of half a tank of petrol you are giving yourself an edge over the competition, an advantage in the race. And of course what you will never know is how much preparation your competition has done.

What benefits do I get from this book?

The book significantly improves not only your understanding of the Board and your annual chance of passing it but gives you a real edge over the competition. You will be able to make, identify and prepare good examples and have an enhanced ability to demonstrate your readiness for promotion to the Board. Your nerves will be more controlled allowing you to speak calmly and clearly. But don't just take my word for it, read the Testimonials to see how it has worked for others already.

What is in it?

First it's important to remember that as mentioned what you are actually investing in is the information in the book - designed to significantly improve your knowledge of the the promotion process and your skills and abilities to gain success. This in turn increases confidence and gives you a crucial edge over your rivals. The book contains not only everything you need to know to pass the Board BUT how to put it into practice (unlike many other training books). It takes you right through the journey of passing your Board, from first gathering your evidence and how to pick good examples, how to learn and apply good interview techniques through to walking out of the door feeling good. The book contains explanations and practical exercises too for you to get to grips with and really learn your stuff. Some people might find the sections on calming nerves most important but I’ll leave you to judge for yourself how important that is to you.

How does it work?

The book treats passing the promotion board as a process and breaks it down into four easy to manage chunks. It provides explanations and practical examples, plus exercises for you to do too. In learning the different chunks you are really building up not only your understanding of the two things the Board are really looking for in you but importantly how to demonstrate them during the Board.

How does it help my nerves?

We know from experience what a negative effect the run up to a Board can have not only on your life but those around you too. A handful of people are lucky enough not to be effected by nerves, but if you are then there are a number of techniques for you to learn and use, either by themselves or all together whichever is best for you. The techniques are all practiced by other people in situations that suit them, such as sports people, public speakers and actors to name just a few. They are easy to learn and apply and reduce nerves and especially the cotton wool in your mouth that frequently comes as a result.

Is success guaranteed?

Sadly not, but because of the subjective nature of interviews nothing can guarantee success. What it does do is give you a much better chance of success than if you were just to muddle through.

Should I invest in it?

Well, many people have sought extra help to pass the promotion board because they recognise that it happens just once per year and the sooner they reap the benefits a higher rank brings them, the better. Some people want to feel less stressed about the process and some people want to learn interview techniques. Whatever your own situation I’ll leave it to you to judge whether that extra help will be useful to you. Of course another reason to invest in it is that you don't want to risk being the one who is disadvantaged do you?

Why have you written this?

I learned about promotion boards and how they work the hard way. I know what it is like to sit on both sides of that table and upon leaving the Service decided to put the skills and techniques I have learned in other disciplines together with my police experience and produce something to help police officers like you. I only wish something like this had been available for me then!

What is an eBook?

An eBook is a computer file containing the information you need to know and for use on your computer only. It is not a physical book that you can put on a coffee table. The advantages are that it can be updated as required and are perfect for small niche markets like this one because they can be produced and delivered in a cost effective way. A paper book about this subject would cost far more to produce and for you to buy too.
