The Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship (PCDA) route into policing is an exciting opportunity for individuals from all backgrounds to obtain a degree whilst working and earning a full salary as a police officer.

The PCDA programme is delivered in partnership with De Montford University and includes classroom delivery, practical application and tutorship. The programme will be split between the university and our police headquarters in Enderby. The Apprenticeship programme will enable rotations around various key departments in the second year and you will be able to apply for specialisms in the third year.

You will be classed as a full-time student and will be able to take advantage of student benefits.

Apprentices are not required to contribute towards the cost of their degree, but remain in probation for the three-year duration of the programme. The starting salary on graduation is £19,164, moving to £24,177 in year 2 and £25,263 in year 3 depending on satisfactory performance. Progression will then be by annual increments.

Training and cohort
Your anticipated start date for training is 17 October 2022. Your training will last for 30 weeks and throughout this period your leave will be pre-booked.

If you have any prior holidays or arrangements, throughout this period, we will not be able to accommodate these and will not be able to offer you a place on this cohort.

We only have a limited number of places for this cohort and will be selecting the highest scoring candidates.

Eligible to apply
To be eligible to apply you will need a level 2 in Maths and English grade C/4 or above at the time of submitting your application and hold or be in your final year of study (awarded August 2022) for a level 3 qualification.
