POL80115 Grad Certificate in Police Management

What You Need to Know

Bradford Institute of Advanced Education in partnership with DaV’ange Training is offering experienced professionals the opportunity to gain recognition of prior learning (RPL) to gain a nationally accredited qualification – the Graduate Certificate in Police Management POL80115.

Successful candidates will need to complete 6 core units of competency.

POLGEN007	Review policing governance and accountability compliance
POLGEN008	Conduct an appreciation of incident management
POLGEN009	Contribute to and implement policing strategy and policy
POLGEN010	Demonstrate high-level management capabilities within a policing context
POLGEN011	Demonstrate leadership capabilities in a policing context
POLGEN012	Manage risk within a policing context

How Does it Work?

You will be asked to complete an RPL Application and provide evidence against each of the units. Where there are gaps in your evidence, a professional conversation with your assessor from DaV’ange Consulting may provide additional evidence. Your assessor may also ask you to provide further evidence to substantiate your claim of competency in a particular unit/s. Where gaps in evidence remain – that is that you cannot be considered competent on the evidence provided, gap training will be made available to you. For gap training, you will be provided with workbooks and given written assessments to complete.

What is my Investment?

EVIDENCE CAN INCLUDE, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO:

Any current licences
Detailed CV or work history with all supporting documents including hobbies/interests/special skills outside work
Certificates/results of assessment for prior courses undertaken
Results/statement of attendance/ certificates for in-house courses, workshops, seminars, symposiums, etc.
Results/statements of attendance/ certificates – club courses e.g. first aid, officials, surf lifesaving, etc.
‘Blue Card’ – Working with Children Check
Police check documentation
Diaries/task sheets/job sheets/log books/performance appraisals/other work samples that demonstrate your competence
Membership of relevant professional associations
References/letters from current or previous employers/supervisors
Industry awards
Any other documentation that may demonstrate industry experience and competence.

Candidates also need to provide contact details for two referees who can confirm their industry skills in context and over time.

How Long will the RPL take?

The time to complete depends on the quality of your application including the evidence you provide to support your claim. It is anticipated the process will take two to three months or less for a full RPL and is mostly dependant on you completing the evidence table so that your assessor can review it, have a professional conversation with you and with your referees about you.
