The Written Exam is the first stage of the Police Station Representatives Accreditation Scheme (PSRAS) and is designed to assess a candidate’s understanding of both the adviser's role in the police station and the skills that are needed to perform that role effectively. Developed by Datalaw's Assessment Board and accessible via any internet connected computer, mobile or other internet ready device for a period of 12 months, this course contains the following:
In the words of lecturer James Parry, in order to pass this assessment candidates must “start early and prepare well.” Whilst this may seem straight forwards, lack of preparation and uncertainty regarding what to expect can cause candidates to stumble at the first hurdle of the PSRAS.
This is a practical session; James will provide advice regarding how to structure your time during the assessment, the correct exam technique to use and the key resources required to ensure success.
The majority of this session will revolve around the dissection of a sample paper; James will offer an insight into what the questions are actually asking, the key indicators which you can use to determine this information and the level of detail expected by the Assessment Board.
Detailed notes accompany the recorded webinar and include a copy of the sample paper discussed above, along with commentary and model answers.
The course also includes a separate sample question paper and marking matrix. We recommend that you use the sample as a mock assessment and attempt the paper under exam conditions in order to accurately assess your exam technique and knowledge, prior to taking the exam.
