I am struggling to find any evidence that people are required to fund their training. The nearest thing seems to be an OPTIONAL course that is meant to help people pass the interview and assessment stages.
They start at Hendon. No mention of a pre-Hendon course, never mind having to pay for it.

The structure of IPLDP sees all officers attend a five-week module at Hendon Recruit Training School. Then, until week 18 they attend a local training unit before 5 weeks coached patrol on their designated borough. Finally, they return to Hendon for 2 weeks.The whole of the new IPLDP is non-residential making recruit training more accessible to people.
