The police application process was a challenge I faced for some time, but Raj's coaching made all the difference. With his expert support, I was able to pass both the OAC and the final interview. I am incredibly grateful and excited to be one step closer to my dream job.

I passed my sergeants process first time with Raj as my coach. He has been amazing and made our coaching sessions enjoyable but also very informative. He put me at ease as I had very little confidence in myself, but he built me back up and told me to believe in myself. Blue light really is worth every single penny and I’d recommend it to anyone going through a promotion process.

I couldn’t be happier with the service from the Blue Light Consultancy. They have helped me pass both the OAC and my interview. My tutors Jane and Raj were extremely supportive and encouraging throughout both processes. I couldn’t have passed without their knowledge and expertise. I highly recommend this service to give yourself the best chance with recruitment and career progression.

Firstly, I want to say a massive thank you to Raj. Raj is absolutely excellent. He is very approachable and encouraging. He has a deep understanding of what assessors are looking for. He worked with me to develop my evidence for the assessment centre, and developed a toolkit of ideas I can use in my future career and at the board. He built my confidence over a number of weeks and I can honestly say I owe my success to him. 
The online webinars provide valuable insights into what to expect at promotion boards. All of the coaches have vast experience and knowledge of what to expect at promotion boards. They will challenge your thinking, get you out of your comfort zone and develop your skill set so that you can perform on the big day. 
I cannot recommend Bluelight highly enough. If you are hesitant about starting, just do it. You wont regret it!

I found that my coach, Catherine Pritchard, did a wonderful job supporting me and offering positive feedback to myself, meaning that I could build up my confidence and pass the BTP interview. I knew exactly what I was doing well and what wasn't going to work. I was so nervous at the start of the week, but taking on Catherine's advice meant I was ready to pass the interview. Money well spent.

Bluelight offers an outstanding service. I had previously failed the final interview stage twice so I came to Bluelight for help. My coach was Andrea and she was amazing. The 1-1s really made me feel confident going into my interview. It is well worth the investment if you are serious about joining the police.

visionary, inspiring, supportive, ethical, empowering, resilient, strategic, and accountable. These words do not come close to describing how good the Team are at Bluelight Consultancy. 
Money can’t  buy the help, support and knowledge Bluelight has to offer. AND they put their money where their mouth is. FULL REFUND if unsuccessful. If you listen and carry out the tasks you WILL be successful. I have been trying to get in the police service for two years. Bluelight got me a pass in under 4weeks.

My experience with Bluelight Academy has been excellent from start to finish. From my very first interaction with Debbie, who guided me through the onboarding process, I felt fully supported and confident that I was in the right place. The guidance I received throughout the course was exceptional, especially from my coaches, Sarah and Andrea. Their expertise, encouragement, and dedication were instrumental in helping me succeed. I truly couldn’t have achieved this without their support. I highly recommend Bluelight Academy to anyone looking for professional, structured, and effective training.

I’m really grateful for the support I received in preparing for my interview. My coach, Raj, was professional, approachable, and tailored the sessions to my needs. They gave me practical advice, helped me structure my answers, and boosted my confidence. The feedback was clear, constructive, and made a big difference in how I performed. I’d highly recommend their coaching to anyone looking to improve their interview skills.

Highly recommend Bluelight. Darren Rawlings and Raj Kohli both provided incredible insight and support that have massively helped me through the process. The webinars were also really helpful, allowing me to hear from others in the same position and help each other under, whilst receiving useful feedback from those with all the experience.

Out of all the different companies and support pieces out there for joining the Police and passing the final interview Bluelightconsultancy is by far the best. Access to all webinars is in a recorded format is fantastic or by joining the webinar especially if you are somebody who works a bit later in the day. There is a perfect steady flow of special guests who can give a highly varied webinar which I found very interesting. Every tutor I had the pleasure of talking to are brilliant at what they do. It was a huge boost in my confidence for joining the police being able to speak with so many people with such a variety of careers within the police and hearing their stories gave me a great head start and helped me get that extra insight into the realities and day to day of policing. Every single tutor has an in depth knowledge of the CVF and has the perfect way of helping you link your experiences to the CVF. As they all have extensive experience in policing they can really help you to understand the forward facing questions and why they actually matter to policing and how you can use that understanding to become an idealistic candidate and a better police officer for it. 
Andrea Quinton was my 1-1 coach and she was absolutely phenomenal from the 1st session to my last and all the group webinars in between. She is so easy to talk to and has very interesting stories from her own policing career which is an incredibly impressive one. Andrea knows exactly how to identify issues with your answers and how to correct them in a memorable way all prepped for your interview aswell as the positive reinforcement for when you do. I can say for certain that Andrea really cares about your journey into policing and does everything she can to help you succeed. 
I can credit so much of my success to bluelightconsultancy and i really feel I am going to be a better police officer because of them and Andrea.

The team at Bluelight consultancy are beyond amazing, I would highly recommend bluelight to absolutely anyone who had their eyes set on policing.

Bluelight provided me with the structure and the confidence to help me succeed at my final interview and I wouldn't of achieved it without the support of Bluelight to guide the way. All the coaches are extremely friendly and all have brilliant experience's that bring different perspectives from all corners of their policing careers. One of the best parts of Bluelight was the ability to hear experience's and opinions from all the coaches on how to best achieve at final interview which was invaluable to me.
