What our customers say about us

5* Google Review dated October 2024 

I cannot recommend Careers in Blue enough. Chris and Jan have been fantastic throughout.

With their help I was able to pass the SIFT, Online Assessment Centre and my In Force Interview.

Coupled with their informative online sessions, their handbook "Police Recruitment Start to Finish" was a great additional resource to have.

Without their help, there is no way I would not have been as successful as I have been.

Best of all, I found that is I ever had a question they always had time to provide a response which helped me no end.

I would strongly recommend Careers in Blue for anyone looking to join a Police Force or moving within one.

I can't recommend Careers In Blue enough! I successfully passed the online assessments and my interview first time after doing 4 workshops and a mock interview with Jan and Chris, as well as using their workbook which was extremely helpful.

They were both very informative and supportive of my journey going into the police and my confidence has been boosted incredibly.

I would highly reccomend Careers In Blue to anyone who is wanting to join the police!

Careers in blue were helpful in my application. I took advantage of the courses to help past the sift, and brought their recruitment start to finish book.

This was really helpful for setting out what the process would be and making sure I understand it.

Chris and Jan are really friendly on the sessions and check in via email / optional weekly free call to make sure you are feeling good about the process.

Careers in blue is a fantastic service that will undoubtedly help you through the whole of the recruiting process.

Jan and Chris will help you through every step of the journey giving you all the skills you need to succeed.

I would recommend getting the workbook which has everything you need for each process of recruitment.

They also offer free services every week so make use of them! I couldn’t recommend this service enough.

5* Google Review - Dated October 2023 

My university provided us with the careers in blue work books and paid Chris and Jan to come in for a few sessions regarding the police recruitment process.

I had personally struggled with the recruitment assessments and had failed both parts previously, however, after having 1 to 1 sessions over teams with Chris and Jan, as well as completing some SIFT practice questions and mock interview questions, I was able to pass with flying colours!

I would highly recommend their service to anyone and would go as far as to say that their input was paramount to me passing my recruitment process.

Lexi - Joined Cumbria Police Professional Policing Degree Entry

Careers in blue have massively helped me through the recruitment stage, through the OAC and my final interview.

The support and guidance from carers in blue is 10/10.

I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in pursuing a career in policing.

Chris and Jan helped my through the recruitment process as a Special Constable.

They made the whole process much more understandable and gave me great insights and support.

They even went above and beyond to help me out at short notice for my final interview.

Would definitely recommend.

Lesley - Joined Northumbria Special Constabulary  

5* Google Review - Dated May 2024 

Thanks to Jan and Chris for helping me crush every single aspect of the application process.

I used them for all three tests up to and including the senior interview and passed every stage with ease.

I can undoubtedly say that without their involvement and detailed prep then it is highly doubtful that I would have scored as highly as I did.

They are patient and kind and truly invested in your success.

I’d also recommend that you look at their book as well as that is a great supplement to the whole process.

Highly highly recommended!
