What Police Pass Provides
The core product is a blended e-learning package combining written study materials, video lectures totalling 50 hours of instruction equivalent to eight days of face-to-face teaching, and a bank of over 2,600 multiple-choice questions. The package is accessible 24 hours a day across desktop, tablet and mobile, which suits officers studying around shift patterns and rest days rather than attending fixed-date classroom courses.
Police Pass also delivers face-to-face training events alongside the e-learning platform, giving officers the option of combining self-directed online study with structured classroom preparation closer to the examination date.
NPPF Step 2 Examination Training
The National Police Promotion Framework Step 2 examination — formerly known as OSPRE Part 1 — is the multiple-choice examination that sergeants and inspectors must pass as part of the promotion process. The examination tests knowledge across the core Blackstone’s Police Manuals subjects and requires a thorough working knowledge of criminal law, evidence and procedure.
Police Pass is the largest single provider of Step 2 preparation in England and Wales. The volume of officers who have passed using their materials gives a meaningful indication of the approach’s effectiveness compared to self-directed study from manuals alone.
National Investigators Examination Training
The National Investigators Examination is required for officers seeking to qualify as detectives and move into investigative roles. Police Pass holds the same position in NIE training as it does in NPPF preparation — the largest national provider, with over 10,000 officers having used the training products for NIE preparation.
More Study Resources for Police Officers
For the primary study texts used alongside any Police Pass package, the Blackstone’s Police Manuals discount page covers the best available prices on the complete manual set. Officers looking for a quick-reference law app for use on shift alongside formal study will find the Pocket Sergeant app page covers a practical reference tool built by a serving officer. For a broader range of police professional reading, the Wordery police discount page covers books with free worldwide delivery.
