This two-year programme 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 routes, you will not be required to complete an academic qualification as part of your training.
