Who are we?
 
Anybody can set up a business and tell you that they can provide you with a quality crammer course and the 'trainers' to match, but how do you establish if that is actually the case? Your investment of time, effort and money should not be made without considering who is actually going to teach you on your course. We suggest that by asking a few simple questions you will easily be able to sort the wheat from the chaff.
 
Before you make that investment you might ask yourself the following questions:
1.
What knowledge of the law do the trainers have?
2.
What knowledge of the Part I examination do the trainers have?
3.
What experience do the trainers have of teaching the Part I syllabus to police officers in my position?
4.
What credibility do the trainers possess?
5.
Overall, what reasons do I have to trust the trainers?
 

You should be able to answer these questions to a high degree of satisfaction. If not, how can you be sure that you are attending a quality course containing relevant material that is delivered in the right way to you, the Part I candidate?

We have provided you with comprehensive pertinent biographical details of Checkmate Training's trainers. We are confident that they provide the very best answers to the above questions.
