How to join us:
There are two routes of entry; our Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship (PCDA) or our Police Constable Entry Programme (PCEP).
Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship (PCDA)
A three-year programme where you can learn as you earn policing London's streets, gaining a (BSc) Hons degree in professional policing practice on completion. The Met covers all qualification fees so there's no cost to you, it's all fully funded.
You’ll start by working with one of our partner universities learning the basics of the job, before joining a team of experienced officers teaching you invaluable skills that you’ll put into practice and build upon before returning to uni for an end of programme assessment.
Police Constable Entry Programme (PCEP)
A two-year programme which provides new recruits with a blend of classroom based and operational learning. Your initial training will take place at a Met training centre before you join one of our policing teams to gain practical, on-the-job experience.
You will be regularly assessed on your knowledge, skills and behaviours but, unlike our other entry route, you will not be required to complete an academic qualification as part of your training or attend university.
Change Your Future
There are countless career opportunities available at the Met due to its size and diverse population that you wouldn’t find in any other UK city.
Upon successful completion of your training period, you’ll be able to decide on how you want to shape your future career path. Whether that be undertaking a new role, joining a specialist team, training to become a detective, or promotion through the ranks; there will always be a role for you at the Met.
You could choose to work in diplomatic protection, work with horses in our Mounted Branch, or even work in cyber-crime. These are just some of the many paths you could choose to follow as your career progresses.
