Testing company, location and schedule set for candidate exams

Edinburgh Board of Metropolitan Police Commissioners · July 24, 2026

Summary

Board confirmed the testing company will administer a written exam and physical test at the 'old electric garage'; the skills/grid portion typically lasts about three hours and the board expects to schedule tests in a morning window.

Board members confirmed logistics for candidate testing: the chosen testing company will administer a written test and a physical (PT) test at the facility described as the "old electric garage." One committee member summarized the schedule: the grid or skills portion "usually lasts about 3 hours," and the board expects to start early in the morning so the testing portion can conclude by noon.

Members discussed site setup and obstacles to be used in the PT component—stairs, platforms and hurdles were mentioned—and asked staff to coordinate paint marks and course layout. The board also noted they had already approved the testing company earlier; the testing day will include both written and physical components with a morning start time to accommodate participants and complete the PT by midday if possible.
