An easy
tool to enable you to understand the police OSPRE Part Two Exam process, what's
expected of you and how best to prepare/structure your
scenarios. Complete with loads of OSPRE Part 2 hints & tips and handy example
'lines' to use for many common Part Two scenarios...
If you're currently preparing for the police OSPRE Part Two assessment, you'll
know how difficult (yet essential) it is to have a full
understanding of the process, and a common structure to use each
time you prepare for an OSPRE Part 2 scenario. You have 360 seconds to prepare
for each scenario, so every second really does count. Ask
yourself the following questions:
1. When I sit down with the police Ospre Part Two candidate information, where do I
begin?
2. What type of things do I ask / say / suggest to the role actor?
3. What is the police OSPRE Part Two assessor looking for? How is he/she really
marking me?
An accurate reflection of some of your concerns?
Yes.
Could this lack of understanding lead to failure of the
assessment?
Yes.
Want an easy way of becoming 100% familiar & well practised?
Yes!
Our CD-ROM is a step by step guide to not only EXPLAIN in detail
the police Part II Process and what is required of you, but also to
offer FULL EXAMPLES of literally HUNDREDS of 'key lines'
that you can use in many different part 2 scenarios, to help score
those easy points.
It's broken down into nine sections and is presented in a clear
and easy to understand format. The nine areas are:
1. INTRODUCTION:
A thorough explanation of the Police OSPRE Part II process, and answers to
many frequently asked questions (timings, mix of scenario types,
candidate information, assessment centre set-up etc.)
2. SPECS©:
An easy to remember and understand model to help structure
police personnel based scenarios during the preparation and
activity stages. Every second of your time will count once the
model becomes second nature to you, and you will never be stuck
for ideas!
3. ASES©:
As above, but adapted for member of the public based scenarios.
We understand the assessment inside out, and know that a generic
model for both types of scenario isn't possible.
4. POLICE PERSONNEL LINES:
Perhaps the most important part of the CD-ROM, and unique to us,
hundreds of example 'lines' to use as a 'pick and mix' during
your scenarios. Learn them all, and you'll never become tongue
tied during your assessment. To make things easier, all of the
lines are structured under the SPECS headings so that your
structure is always 100% consistent.
5. MEMBER OF PUBLIC LINES:
As above, but adapted for member of the public based
scenarios.
6. DOs AND DON'Ts:
Some essential police OSPRE Part Two hints and tips. Follow them all, and ensure
you're successful during your assessment.
7. ASSESSMENT:
Once you understand precisely how you're marked by the assessor,
you can easily adapt your OSPRE Part 2 performance to ensure as many of the
boxes are ticked as possible. This sections outlines exactly how
the marking works.
8. COMPETENCIES:
To be read alongside the assessment section, this area gives
specific detail about exactly what the assessors are looking for
in a Part 2 candidate, what he/she should say, and how he/she should
behave. We understand the assessment inside out, and so this
section is split into Sergeant and Inspector.
9. POLICE AREA FACTS:
Several weeks prior to the assessment, all candidates are given a
booklet containing information about the fictitious police force
in which they are about to start working. This is a summary of
the exact information given in recent Part II assessments -
useful to help score easy marks. For an even better insight,
consider purchasing this product alongside the police OSPRE Part
Two Guide (see special offer below). |

Practising for the police OSPRE Part
Two exam is essential. It is an accepted fact that the process
is very stressful, and requires you to be able to think very
quickly in a very short space of time. The solution...?
CopCoach OSPRE Part Two
scenarios.
We understand the police OSPRE Part
Two process inside and out, and continually research
developments in the area. We have compiled 10 of the
best practice scenarios (practise scenarios) into one easy to use CD-ROM, to
enable you to fine tune your skills.
The OSPRE Part 2 mock scenarios have been
carefully selected to offer you the variety that an actual OSPRE Part
Two assessment will provide, with an appropriate mix of "member
of public" scenarios and "police personnel" scenarios. In fact,
many of the scenarios are similar to those used in recent OSPRE Part
Two assessments.
Unlike other sellers, we do
not simply offer the scenario on its own. With the
CopCoach OSPRE Part Two Scenario Package, you will receive:
THE
CANDIDATE INFORMATION
The mock scenario provides you with a comprehensive summary of the
facts, and an introduction to the problem that you will be
expected to tackle. It gives information on who you will
meet and all relevant background information.
All of the example scenarios will come with supporting material, that
is designed to assist you in resolving your scenario (see
image). The material may be a letter of complaint from a
member of the public, a force policy or even graphical evidence
of crime levels in your area. Use of this material is
essential if you aim to achieve the highest marks possible in
your scenario.
ROLE ACTOR INSTRUCTIONS
Every Part 2 scenario provides you
with 2 sources of information; The candidate information (see above)
and the information the role actor him/herself provides you
with. Each of the CopCoach mock scenarios comes with
comprehensive role actor instructions and 'response lines' to
allow you and a practise partner to make your Part 2 practice as
realistic as possible, and provide you with the best opportunity
to score well.
MARKING CHECKLIST / SCALARS
Each scenario is marked by an assessor using a marking 'scalar'
(see image). This includes all of the relevant behavioural
statements that should have been evidenced from your scenario.
Without knowledge of these, you will be unable to determine what
you needed to do to score extra marks, or what you did do that
was successful. Every CopCoach OSPRE Part 2 scenario comes with precise
marking scalars so that you are able to accurately self-assess
your performance.
The practice scenarios will prove
useful in many ways. Firstly, they will give you an opportunity
to familiarise yourself with the type of 'problem' you
will come up against during the Part Two assessment. Secondly, they
will give you the chance to practice the assessment, fine
tune your skills and determine your strengths and weaknesses;
Doing this on the day is simply too late.
Our developers are very
experienced in the OSPRE Part Two process, and have undertaken
the assessment themselves. How well did they do using the
unique CopCoach practice methods? In the top 10 Nationally.
Don't let others have an
advantage over you - get yourself a full package of
professionally written example police OSPRE Part 2 scenarios today, grab a friend to help
you practice if necessary, and put yourself ahead of the rest.
Don't be tempted by badly written, amateur, unfocussed scenarios
available elsewhere!
