The recent introduction of the Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship (PCDA) route into policing, enables entrants to receive practical on-the-job learning alongside academic theory and knowledge while earning a wage. Successfully completing the apprenticeship will result in the award of a degree in professional policing practice.

What does the programme entail?

The PCDA will typically take three years to complete. Assessment of academic and operational competence will be ongoing throughout the programme and will be carried out through a collaborative partnership between a force and one or more learning providers such as a university.

Entrants will be aged between 18 and 55.

To apply to be on a PCDA, applicants are likely to have achieved a level 3 qualification (which is A-level or equivalent).

Entrants recruited onto the programme will be a police officer from their first day on the job.

What does the programme cover?

This programme covers a breadth, depth and range of professional education for the police constable not present in any previous constable training programme. This is a professional degree very much founded on effective professional performance with academic achievement.
