	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>There is no requirement on police forces to ensure that all candidates should <br>have the Certificate in Knowledge of Policing. It is one of a number of routes <br>for entry in to a police force and is designed to increase access and inclusion <br>and to build the profession of policing. <br><br>Other routes include a Level 3 qualification, service as a police community <br>support officer (PCSO) or special constable. It is for chief officers to <br>determine the most appropriate entry route for their force as they are best <br>placed to determine the skills and capabilities that are most needed locally.<br><br>Providers of the Certificate in Knowledge of Policing are approved by the <br>College of Policing and it is a matter for each provider to set a fee. The <br>Skills Funding Agency provides funding for those wishing to undertake this <br>qualification if they are: i) 18 and under, ii) 23 and under and this is their <br>first Level 3 qualification, iii) unemployed or iv) ex-military personnel. <br><br>Those who do not qualify for such funding may be able to access a student loan <br>to cover the cost of the fees, which is not repayable until they are earning <br>£21,000. It would be a matter for the force to decide if they wish to provide <br>any additional support.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Ashford answering member printed Damian Green question first answered 30/06/2014 11:26:23 answering member 76 label Biography information for Damian Green
