@Crystal_78_LDN Hi @Crystal_78_LDN - the College of Policing recently conducted wide-scale research on the syllabus for the NPPF Step Two exams. As a result the syllabus has been revised. Content on Road Policing is now included within Vol.3 General Police Duties.

@BStonesPolice I want to purchase the new books for the Sgts 2023, however there is only 3 manuals. Is traffic no longer being tested? Thanks

@smudgers24 Hi @smudgers24 - the Online Q&As will be updated once the final exam has taken place in October. You will be automatically upgraded to the new syllabus on its release. Please contact our team at onlinesubscriptions@oup.com if you have any other questions about your subscription.

@checkmatetrain I studied for my #NIE by sticking to reading my Blackstones manuals one subject at a time. I passed it on the 1st attempt getting 66%. In the past I’ve used crammers for the sgts and failed by 2%. #Blackstones is the only reason I passed my NIE. Really worth it.

@ClaireL57840192 Hi Claire, we provide study materials for the exam but don't set the exams ourselves. the College of Policing might have more info. All best wishes!

@BStonesPolice are there any plans to roll out more than one opportunity to carry out the Sergeants in a year please?

@AndyGil22598563 Dear Andy, please accept our deepest apologies for the outage, it was caused by an unexpected hardware failure and our teams have been working hard to get things back up and running. Best wishes.

@BStonesPolice Thanks for the good luck wish, perhaps you could ensure your site is back up and working at such a crucial time

Wishing the best of luck to everyone sitting their Sergeant's exam in the next few days! All the hard work will be worth it! You've got this!
