I don't think these courses are in any way compulsory but most forces seem to be going down the route of wanting applicants to have experience before joining whether it is as a special, PCSO or having a relevant qualification.

From the Met website.
I think the company might be exaggerating its course a touch.
Nothing new there then.

PCSO's and Specials have got to go through the same procedure.
About 8 years ago, when l wanted to be a full time PC from the Specials, l had to start from the very begining - ie application form etc. I got as far as and Assesment Centre in London, but l failed by 5 marks, and they would not let me sit again.
I tried FIVE times as a special constable, it much harder now to be a PC cost money.
Yes I know it is - it's referring to future changes which were due to be made to the police training process sometime in 2011/2012 and I was wondering if those changes are what the OP was referring to in his uniquely nebulous manner...
Last year the courses were called something else, this time they have changed the 'goal posts' and called it something else, and my son has told me that there are three course's and he is on the cheapest one with the end result - Hendon and a brilliant police career
