The College of Policing has issued an update on policing exams over the coming months, with online options being considered as an alternative during the coronavirus pandemic.
In a message sent to all chief constables and police and crime commissioners, the college acknowledges the difficulties cancellation of the National Police Promotion Framework (NPPF) exams has caused for forces seeking to promote officers.
“We are now looking at alternative ways to deliver the NPPF exams which includes potential online delivery of the exams. However, this will take some time to work through as we identify an appropriate way to do this which ensures assessment standards are not compromised,” says the college.
