Concerned about the selection panel interview?
The selection panel interview carries significant weight in the application process and is your opportunity to impact your final applicant score, potentially more than any other individual stage.
At this step of the journey, you have an excellent opportunity to make a great impression and boost your final score, and importantly, your place on the order of merit. Of course, the opposite is true if you don’t take full advantage.
You wouldn’t be the first applicant who was nervous about fronting up to an assessment or a selection panel interview, but, don’t worry, we can help you feel be better prepared, have a clearer mind and be more confident than you thought you ever could be!
Let’s learn more…
How we can help with this stage of the process
I think it’s fair to say we can help police applicants achieve their dream of becoming a police officer. After all, for the last 17 years more than 6,000 applicants have taken our training, and, more than 90% of them are now police officers! How’s that for a success rate?!
Our founder, Russell Kempster, spent 14 years as a police officer in Victoria, with 4 years of that time as an instructor at the police academy. To say helping police applicants is our passion would be an understatement!
Our training is tailored specifically to meet the requirements of your police application. You can expect very detailed and comprehensive training, delivered online, via video tutorial lessons and custom software applications.
Access to the training is unlimited. You can take lessons at your own pace, when and where it suits you, and you can take the lessons, and use the applications, as many times as you like.
We’re here to help keep you moving should you have any technical support questions. We also offer a paid premium coaching support option should you want to receive personalised advice and guidance, over and above the online training, during your application journey.
When you take our online training you’ll also be invited to join our community of police applicants, from around the country, working towards the same goal – achieving their dream of becoming a police officer.
Let’s take a closer look at the training to help you with this all important step in your New South Wales Police application.
Here's what we're going to cover in this training
No other stage of a Police application fires me up as much as the selection panel interview. I am so determined to make sure you shine in your panel so we can maximise your score and get you an offer for the Police Academy. Here’s what we’re going to work on in this course.
In this course, created specifically to help you ace your selection panel interview, we’re going to cover everything you need to know to be confident and ready to present the best ‘you’.
We’ll discuss the interview structure, format, and everything you need to understand before the day arrives. I’ll show you exactly what information you’ll need to remember for interview day and what info you won’t. We’ll make sure you’re clear on how your interview will be scored so we can prepare our content to maximise it. I’ll teach you my 4 step framework that helped over 6000 applicants deliver the right answers the right way!
You’ll learn how to answer scenario questions using my framework to show you’re well suited for a police role, and, I’ll share more than 50 videos, recorded live from practice interviews, with specific Q&A examples to help generate ideas, from your life experiences, to come up your own great responses.
Selection Panel Interview
You wouldn’t be the first applicant who was nervous about fronting up to a selection panel interview, but, don’t worry, by the end of this course you’ll be better prepared, have a clearer mind and be more confident than you thought you ever could be.
We’ll take you through a very comprehensive process where you’ll identify the information you need to know, what life experiences you need to offer, how to structure your responses, and how to deal with each question type that is coming your way.
This is our most comprehensive program and has helped more than 6000 applicants to become officers since 2006. An easy to follow video course with follow along workbook will have you feeling confident and ready for your police selection panel interview!

Behavioural Evidence
Behavioural based evidence questions are the most important question type you need to be able to answer in your panel interview. After all, as the name suggests, they are questions that require you to provide evidence of your suitability for the role.
Understanding how behavioural questions work is vital, as is your ability to identify the right life experiences to share, and be able to structure your responses correctly.
The STAR Method only scratches the surface when it comes to behavioural questions. We’ll take a really deep, and I’ll teach you my 4 step framework that helped over 6000 applicants deliver the right answers the right way!
Topics Covered

Scenario questions can really put the wind up applicants. Being able to answer difficult ‘What would you do?’ questions can make you very nervous when you don’t have a process or a framework.
These question types are important as they assess aptitude, that is, whether you’re a good fit for the role or not!
In this part of the training you’ll learn how to answer scenario questions using my framework to show you’re well suited for a police role. It”s the same framework I taught police recruits undergoing their official academy recruit training.
By the end of this part of the training you’ll know exactly how to deal with any scenario question, and answer it in a way that gives you confidence, and gives the panel confidence in you!

Which pricing option is right for me?
If you’d like help with 1 stage of your application, the 1 Month or 3 Months prepay option might be the best fit for you. However, if you’re early in your journey and would like help with multiple testing stages, the 6 or 12 month prepay options are significantly discounted.
Free Access Guarantee
Frequently asked questions...
That’s entirely your choice! You could:
- Do nothing and allow the monthly payments of $99 to commence (for as many months as you like)
- Prepay a further period of 3, 6 or 12 months [additional discounts ($50/$100/$200) on top of these discounts is applied for existing PMT members], or
- You can submit the cancel membership form any time before (at least 24 hours) the monthly payments are due to commence. Example: you could prepay for 6 months and submit the cancellation form after one month if you like. You will still have full access until the end of your prepaid period before the membership would expire automatically. Note: We will send you plenty of reminders when your prepaid period is ending.
Yep, just select the one-month pricing option, then submit the cancel membership form at least 24 hours before the next payment is due and you’re done.
As a member, you’ll have access to everything, the cost is determined by how long you stay on as a member, not by the courses you access.
We have courses that are specifically tailored on a state by state basis. As a member you’ll get access to all the training courses for all the states/territories, so regardless of which state you are applying for we’ve got you covered!
No. However, you can cancel it at any time.
When you cancel your membership you will continue to have full access until the end of the paid period.
Good question! It really comes down to your application time frame and how much help you’d like. If you’re early in the application process we suggest considering the 6 or 12-month pricing option. If you’re already well into the journey, the one or 3-month pricing option might be more suitable.
We do not offer refunds, so please be sure the program is right for you before making a commitment. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us!
We’ll do everything in our power to help and support you to succeed. The membership is a self-paced program, if you need personalised private coaching with Russ, or you’d like your work to be individually critiqued on a one-off basis, there are paid options available.
Not necessarily. When you’re on the monthly payments, they’re processed every 30 days. The actual date is shown on your previous payment receipt.
In life? Nope, however, Russ has been passionately helping police applicants for more than 17 years. Over 6,000 applicants have come through our program, 90% of them are now police officers. In the unlikely event you take our course and don’t pass that stage of the application, we will give you free access to that course again for 30 days when you reapply.
