Hello Paul

I just wanted to thank you for helping me pass My Sgts Part 1 examination. I attend your crammer course at Leicestershire HQ in January which made me realise my study was no where near where it should have been and gave me the 'kick' in the right direction that I needed! The end result was that it was a very good investment and coupled with some weeks of hard work, especially on the hot lists you prepared; I achieved the highest mark in my force and got in the top 1% of the country.

Thanks again

Dear Julianna and Paul,

I was one of the thousands of bemused nervous faces that sat and listened to you on the last crammer courses for PC to PS exam.
I attended your weekend at Hendon with the MPS. I am delighted to say that I passed the exam and wished to say a BIG thank you. The course was excellent and a huge help.I achieved a surprising result of exceptional (80%) and came 163rd in the country! (feeling rather smug today)

I followed to the letter your Ratio study plan in October 2009 and that too was really good and accurate.
For many train journeys to work and aimless walks around the country side I also listened to the crammer CD's - again excellent.

Cheers

Julian Whippy

Dear Julianna and Paul,

I just wanted to thank you for your crammer course (2010) and I wanted to let you know that I attained 79% an exceptional pass on the sergeants Ospre Part 1 exam this year.
Your course and presentation is without a doubt the main reason for this high score.
I will always recommend your course and really wanted you to know how grateful I am for your help in me achieving this.

Kind regards

Caroline Roberts
PC Metropolitan police.

Just a short message to say thanks for your help and assistance in helping me successfully passing the Ospre Sgts pt1 exam at the first attempt.
I achieved a "exceptional" score of 80% overall, the top score for my county (Norfolk) and 163 overall nationwide.
Throughout my revision and studying for the exam, I used your suggested study plan, the Sgts hotlist and attended your crammer course in Exeter. I found the study plans useful and achievable and the crammer course invaluable. I would recommend you to anyone intending on taking ospre exams.

Thanks again

Hello Paul and Julianna,

I am just e mailing to say a massive thank you. I found out that i'd passed my Sgts Part 1 exam today with a staggering score of 80%. I used your study plan from last year, your guidance on how to revise etc and I used the 4 manuals, the 4 Q&A books, the mock exam paper, CD's, the crammer book and attended your master class and three day course so I dont think I could have done anymore.

Thank you for all the advice you gave, it was a massive help.

Kind regards

Just a quick thanks for the input on your crammer course I attended in January at Leicestershire

I always believe the effort you put in equates to the results you get out but even Iwasn't expecting the result i got.

Your course helped to focus on how to approach my revision at an early stage as well as covering notable subjects. Another plus are the revision downloads on your website in particular subject areas most covered in previous exam questions that i constantly used to great effect.

Something obviously worked well as i managed to get 81% that I think will potentially put me in the top 5% nationally and it would seem top of my own force (Cheshire) - just awaiting weekly orders to confirm. Either way I'm chuffed :)

Now just the little matter of part 2

Cheers

Hi Paul,

I have just found out I have passed my part 1 exam having passed my NIE exam in March. I attended both your crammer courses & can say without reservation that without the inputs that you and your team delivered I would not have passed both exams.

Your teaching style & delivery were extremely professional and helped
me to understand the subject matter in the depth required.

Many thanks to you all !

Regards

Paul,

Just wanted to write you a little email and thank you for your excellent crammer course, I travelled from Northampton to Leicester to be on the 3 day course, I have now PASSED my exam at the first sitting. I firmly believe that without attending your course I would not have been successful. I am not an academic and I always new part one would be very difficult, due to the fact that I am not a book person. You course was simply brilliant I found myself smiling at times in the exam as I was reading the exact scenario that you had spoken about. Looking at my feedback I scored very highly in all the areas which the course focussed on. I thank you so very much and look forward to attending another of your courses.

Kind Regards

Ash Turner, Northants

I attended your crammer course held in Bedfordshire and can honestly say that it was a major contributory factor in successfully passing the exam.

The course content, presentation and delivery from you both is second to none and your knowledge outstanding.

I will recommend this course to anyone taking the exam in the future and would go as far to say don't even contemplate taking the exam without first doing this course.

Richard March, Herts Police

Dear Paul and Julianna,

I am writing to express my thanks to you both for helping me pass my Sergeants Part One exam this March. I attended your Crammer Course at Hindlip Hall (West Mercia) earlier this year. I found the course helped improve my exam technique, showing me how to interpret the questions, apply my law knowledge and thus help guide me to the correct answer. This was the most valuable skill I learnt from yourselves, and I am certain that I could not have passed if it was not for Checkmate Training. Your interactive course methodology is probably the best in the business and I will recommend to anyone who is taking the exam to attend one of your courses.

Many thanks,

Rebecca Riley, West Mercia Constabulary

I attended one of your Inspectors' Part 1 crammer courses earlier this year and wanted to thank you and give some feedback.

Your instruction was excellent and I also took your advice and bought the Blackstones Q&A which became my main revision aid from that point onwards. The result - 88% which was the highest mark in Avon and Somerset - this by someone who scored 55.3% in the Sergeants' Part 1!!

Thanks again for the instruction and guidance!

Chris Kedward, Devon & Cornwall Police

I wanted to let you know how useful I found your Inspector's crammer course that I attended in West Mercia in August this year. I have just received my feedback / scores as was amazed to have got 86%! (top in my force - Leicestershire) . I put an awful lot of time into my study but found that your course helped to reinforce my knowledge, allowed me to focus on certain aspects of the legislation and highlight areas where my knowledge was weak.

The course was very intensive but your dynamic and energetic methods of delivery really helped me to retain a lot of the information you were providing. I will certainly recommend your course to colleagues undertaking the OSPRE examinations.

Many Thanks

Cathy Haward, Leicestershire Constabulary

I'm an Essex Officer who attended your Inspectors' study course at our
Force HQ earlier this year. Having just received the exam feedback, I'm pleased to report I received an 'exceptional' grade with a score of 85% - the top mark in Essex.
This included 90, 88 and 83% in Crime, Evidence & Procedure and GPD respectively.
I'm grateful for the invaluable assistance the course provided, not just in terms of the legal topics covered, but also the hints and tips. In addition the delivery style was first rate.

Thanks again.

Neil. (Top in Essex), Essex Police

Paul & Julianna, I attended your Inspectors crammer in West Mercia this year and am very pleased to say that I passed my Inspectors exam. I would like to say that I found the course absolutely top notch. The no-nonsense-pin your ears back and listen approach suited me down to the ground. I had no doubt from the start that the people standing in front of me on this course knew their stuff inside out and upside down. It cleared up for me numerous points of doubt that had arisen in my study and the comprehensive explanations,diagrams and accompanying theatre were perfect. I was daunted by the 65% pass mark but am pleased to say I got 76%. My learning on the course undoubtedly got me a number of marks I otherwise wouldn`t have got.

Thanks very much

PS Pete Simms, Devon and Cornwall Police

I just thought I'd drop you a line to let you know how I got on in the exam.

I'm with Merseyside Police and attended your induction day, week crammer course and followed your study plan.

Well I passed, and received my breakdown last week. I came in the top 2% in the country, 15th place out of everyone who took it, and top of Merseyside Police.

I'd like to thank you for your advice and guidance.

Joanne Preston, Merseyside Police

I would like to thank you both for delivering such a useful crammer course this year for the Inspector's Part I. I passed first time with a fab score of 83% (best in West Mercia)! The money I spent was worth every penny. Having attended the crammer course in 2004 with Tom & Julianna when I took the Sergeants Part I (passed that first time too), I was not going to miss your course for the world. I have recommended it to my partner who is currently studying for her Sergeants Part 1 next year and she is really looking forward to your course. Keep doing what you do, it really works...

Kind regards,

Peter KITOSI-ISANGA, West Mercia Police

I would just like to say a big thank you to Paul and Julianna for their excellent and entertaining course for the above exam - (I attended the course at Essex HQ, Chelmsford in August).

I am happy to report that my money proved to be well spent, as I achieved a result of 80%, coming 193rd out of 3212 who sat the exam. My partner intends to sit the same exam next year and I've already told him he WILL be attending your course!

Kind regards

Sandy Hollands, Metropolitan Police)

Great course, lively delivery covering a huge amount of material quickly but in a manner that ensures understanding. The RIPA input is the latest of many I have had during my service but it is the first one I have come away from feeling I fully understand the subject.

PS Robinson, Sussex Police

An extremely enjoyable course! A lot of hard work but I feel FAR more confident about my abilities and what to expect. Course delivery was excellent, great use of humour and I love the mnemonics! I found the style of delivery extremely useful and would recommend it to anyone. Thanks.
