Once you complete and submit this form, Recruiting Section will review your responses and you will receive further advice (via email) regarding how to proceed within 5 business days.

If it is determined that you do not meet the criteria for a QPSea exemption, you may need to complete/re-complete the QPSea to meet the entry requirements.

If it is determined that you have previously received and 'used' a voucher for the QPSea for testing sessions following 9th May 2023, you will be required to personally cover the cost of your QPSea. In this case, do not attempt to provide false, incomplete, or misleading information to receive another voucher code. Doing so may result in the determination that you are unsuitable for appointment as a QPS recruit.

Thank-you for using QPS Recruiting Section's online Confirmation of Eligibility form.
