Frequently Asked Questions
I wrote these answers for PSRAS candidates and firms using PSR Train as prep — what the platform covers, what it costs while we are testing, and what only your assessment organisation can award.
Does completing this training qualify me as a police station representative?
No. This training prepares candidates for the Police Station Representative Accreditation Scheme (PSRAS). Completion does not itself confer accreditation or authorisation to provide police station advice. Formal accreditation depends on the recognised external scheme and applicable supervision and assessment requirements.
Is PSR Train an official PSRAS provider?
No. PSR Train is independent preparation and practice. I align the content with the PSRAS syllabus, PACE 1984, and Code C, but your accreditation is awarded by your assessment organisation, not by this site.
What does PSR Train cost?
It is completely free while we are in testing, with no card required. Paid monthly (£12) and annual (£115) plans are planned for later and are marked Coming soon on the pricing page. They are not available for checkout yet. If you sign up now, you can start practising straight away at no cost.
Will it actually help me pass?
I built it around what the assessment actually tests: timed mock exams, CIT-style scenarios, and syllabus-mapped MCQs with worked explanations. I cannot guarantee a pass, but you will see where your reasoning breaks down before the real sitting.
What is included?
Practice questions across every syllabus area, timed mock exams, critical-incident scenarios, learning modules, and progress tracking that shows your accuracy and weakest topics.
Who is this platform for?
Candidates preparing for Police Station Representative accreditation (PSRAS) in England and Wales — whether you are starting out or polishing up before assessment. Qualified solicitors may also use it as a supplementary refresh of PACE 1984, Code C, and police station procedure.
How do I get started?
Create a free account and open the learning modules, practice bank, or a timed mock. No card is required while we are testing. I usually tell trainees to map the syllabus first, then alternate timed MCQs with one CIT-style scenario each week.
Are the questions updated regularly?
Yes. I review and add questions as PACE Codes and syllabus emphasis shift. Always check the current Code text on GOV.UK for anything safety-critical; this platform is preparation, not a substitute for the official materials.
Can I track my progress?
Yes. The platform includes progress tracking. You can view your performance statistics, track your improvement over time, and identify areas where you need more practice.
Do you offer certificates?
We offer course-completion or participation certificates for certain modules or milestones. These are evidence of training completed on our platform only; they do not constitute professional accreditation or authorisation to provide police station advice. Check the certificates page in your dashboard for more information.
What is the PSRAS?
The Police Station Representative Accreditation Scheme (PSRAS) is the accreditation framework for individuals who provide legally aided police station advice. The SRA describes it as a compulsory qualification for solicitors and non-solicitors who provide legal advice at the police station on a legally aided basis. Assessment components are delivered by authorised providers.
Where can I find more PSR resources and community?
PoliceStationRepUK is a free directory and resource hub for police station representatives.
