That's what the Pass Guarantee is for. Answer every question in the bank, read every study topic, pass 2 timed simulations and reach a Readiness Score of 80, then sit your career's written or aptitude test within 60 days. If you don't pass that test, send your result notice within 30 days and we refund 100%. It covers the test, not interviews, fitness, vetting or job offers.

For as long as your Premium subscription is active. Cancel any time from your account and you keep access until the end of the month you've paid for.

We check every career page against the recruiting organisations' current published information and show the date it was last checked. In 2026 that included the four-stage police constable recruitment process made compulsory in England and Wales on 17 March 2026, the College of Policing's 2027 NPPF and 2026 NIE candidate handbooks, the Civil Service online tests list updated on 27 January 2026, and the Fast Stream's 2027 entry round.

No. Real test and interview questions are confidential, and no one can legally sell them. Ours are original questions written to each career's published selection process: judgement scenarios scored against the organisation's published values or behaviours, reasoning questions in the style of the real tests, and for the police promotion and investigators' exams, the law in the syllabus. Every answer is explained, so you can check our work.

No. UKCivilServicePrep is an independent career-prep service, not affiliated with or endorsed by any government agency. We don't handle applications or influence decisions. Always apply through the organisation's own recruiting site (for example Civil Service Jobs, your police force's recruitment pages or the armed forces' recruiting sites); applying is free.

Yes. Read the job advert and the organisation's candidate guidance, and take any official practice test or familiarisation exercise. For the sergeants', inspectors' and investigators' exams, the current Blackstone's manual named by the College of Policing is the syllabus. We're the extra preparation: more practice questions, timed mocks, flashcards, interview prep and a Readiness Score.

Use the career finder on the home page. Office-based government work usually starts with Civil Service AO, EO or HEO roles; graduates often aim for the Fast Stream; frontline public protection means police, fire, prison or Border Force; and serving officers use the sergeants', inspectors' or investigators' exams.

No. Premium is per career: each subscription unlocks one career (for example Police Constable or the Civil Service Fast Stream), and you pick it at checkout. Applying for two? Add a subscription for the second, and cancel each one when you're done.

Everything for the exam you choose, for as long as your subscription is active: the question bank, timed simulations, study notes, flashcards with spaced repetition, mind maps, video lessons as they release, your mistakes bank, detailed reports, the Readiness Score, all 5 bonuses and the Pass Guarantee.

Complete the full prep for your career: answer every question in the bank, read every study topic, finish 2 timed simulations with your latest at or above the pass mark, and reach a Readiness Score of 80. Then sit that career's written or aptitude test (for example the online sift, the Defence Aptitude Assessment or the sergeants' exam) within 60 days while your access is active. If you don't pass the test, email us your result notice within 30 days and we refund 100% of what you paid. Your dashboard tracks every requirement live.

A 0 to 100 score on your dashboard that combines your accuracy, how much of the bank you've covered, your timed simulation results and your flashcard mastery. Reaching 80 takes consistent above-pass-mark work across the whole bank, which is why it is the bar for our guarantee.

Your saved free-test results, a starter Readiness Score, the first study-notes topic and flashcards for every exam, the mind map outline, your mistakes bank and the UK Public-Service Hiring Process Cheat Sheet. Upgrade any time to unlock the exam you're taking.
