Paul and Julianna

Hi just a quick e-mail to say I attended your 3 day crammer course in Sussex back in February and found it very useful in the final stages of my study.

I scored 89.3% coming second in the country out of 9062 candidates and top for my force so thanks for all your advice and tips (in fact I got 95% on Crime and I am a Traffic Officer!)

I will be recommending your crammer course to all of my colleagues this year.

Once again, thanks for your help and best wishes!

PC Nick Edwards - Sussex Police

Hi both,

A quick line to say thank you for the invaluable help I received during your 3 day course at Hendon in February. The course made me think about subject matter and the exam itself in a different way.
I have been told by the Met's OSPRE desk I was the oldest candidate to take and pass the exam at 52. As they say, it is never too late to start learning!
I have passed on my views on your course to a number of budding inspectors and hope they benefit in the same way as I did.

Paul Ellis - Metropolitan Police Service

I passed, first time, and in my probation! I got 69% and I know that at least four questions I was smiling as I answered. Why? 25 MAMS, the condition of your PANCREAS, and other helpful pneumonics, hints & tips from Paul & Julianna.

I would absolutely recommend this crammer just before the sergeants exams to top off your revision. The word 'cram' suits it exactly. And not a dull moment either. Three days went by in a whirl.

And I know that 4 out of five people I met on my weekend in Birmingham also passed. I would say, money well spent.

Roll on the NIE course! Thanks guys.

Hi,

Just to let you know I passed my Ospre part 1. Thank you all at Checkmate. I did the Ratio study timetable, the crammer course in Lincolnshire and used Blackstone's along with Julianna's CD. Couldn't have done it without the crammer course.

The kids are glad it's over, they are sick of the CD's in the car............"Section 4 kick down the door" yells my 4 year old as he runs in to nursery!

Thanks again

Carl Sweeting - Humberside Police

Hi there,

I just want to say a big thank you for your absolutely superb training course for OSPRE PART 1. I was given my good news today and believe that this success was down to your brilliant input in January. I will strongly recommend your courses to all at Ilford Police Station.
Once again THANK YOU!!!!

Mark McFaull (PC131JI McFaull - Response Team 2- Redbridge)

Good Evening Paul and Julianna,

I thought I'd let you know that I PASSED Ospre Pt 1!!! I attended your course in Staffordshire in February. In my force (Essex) 253 took the exam and just 63 passed - I am delighted. I wanted to thank you for all of your help and to let you know how useful all of the course content was.

Thanks for an excellent course.

Kind regards,

Sue Midwinter - Essex Police.

Dear all at Checkmate,

I'm sure you know the part 1 results came out yesterday.....I PASSED! FIRST TIME!

I just wanted to say thank you for helping. I attended crammer course held at Kent Police College, Maidstone and I found all your help invaluable and its true, in the exam I could hear the relevant voices (no I'm not mad) talking about the subject that was in the question. I know I worked wretchedly hard to take this exam and used your full 100 mins a day timetable but the icing on the top was you guys and I'm sure that you helped me achieve the pass and helped with the confidence needed to get that grade.
I would (and already have) recommended you to everyone, and all I need to know now is when can I start getting help for part 2!
I'm sure you are receiving lots of e-mails like this today from around the country and I hope it does give you that warm huggy feeling you deserve for helping the next generation up the ladder.

Drinks all round!

Many thanks,

PC Diane Webster - Section 4 Tunbridge Wells, Kent Police

Paul & Julianna,
I wanted to write to say thank you for the Checkmate help in my passing my Part 1 exam first time round!
This was down to the excellent 3-day crammer course run by Julianna Mitchell and Paul Connor.
Thanks again,

Antony Wolfson - City of London Police

Paul

I have just found out to my delight today that I have passed the 2008 SGT's exam. I have no doubt that this success is down to attending your course at Durham HQ, and I would just like to thank both you and Julianna for all your input on those 3 days, without it I would not have succeeded

Thanks again

PC Martin Wilson

Dear Paul and Juliana,

I attended the Crammer Course at Edgbaston Cricket Club back in February. I just wanted to thank you for what I found to be an engaging, informative course. The results were out today and I passed so it was money well spent! Thank you so much for putting together a package that brings out some really important topics in such a clear manner. Rest assured I will be recommending your course to people seeking promotion within the Police.

Once again many thanks and all the best.

See you on the Inspectors Crammer!

Sincerely

PC Mark Cummings

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 - West Mercia Course 31st August to 2nd September 2007

If you want to pass Part I, this course is a must. I cannot recommend it highly enough - thank you

PS Danielle Corfield - West Midlands Police - West Midlands course, August 2007

A good, well structured and extremely useful course in the lead up to the exam. Many thanks for all the advice, top tips and knowledge.

PS John Donachy, Thames Valley Police - West Mercia Course, September 2007

A superb 3 days. The delivery and pace was very good with a high attention to detail. The advice provided was excellent.

PS Tim Hurley, Thames Valley Police - West Mercia Course, September 2007

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 - Sussex course August 2007

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.

PS Sam de Lozey, Kent Police - Kent course August 2007

The most useful, informative, helpful course I have ever been on and the 'best value' item I have ever bought with my husbands credit card! Many, many thanks - it has restored my confidence that I CAN pass this exam.

PS Dawn Butler, Sussex Police, Sussex course, August 2007

A brilliant course - I don't know how people could pass without it! I'd definitely recommend it to anyone studying for OSPRE Part ! - Many thanks.

PS Jenny Sullivan, West Mercia Police - West Mercia Course, September 2007

Very useful and gave me some really good advice & clarification on many points. I'll be recommending this course to all Northumbria officers to travel miles to attend.
