THE certificate in policing, a recognised qualification for entry into the police, is to be offered by Duchy College, Stoke Climsland from September as part of its police studies foundation degree.

In collaboration with the University of Plymouth, the University of Portsmouth and Surrey Police, the college has developed its FdSc police studies programme to include a new police, law and community module built around the industry-recognised certificate in policing.

The certificate is undertaken through a series of police workbooks which give students the underpinning knowledge required by student police officers in the early part of their training. It is a recognised pre-joining requisite in several constabularies across the country.

Contact the college on 01579 372233 for further information.
