This 11 month diploma program is the first step in a career in policing in Ontario. Police Foundations is of interest to those who aspire to become Police Constables and Corrections Officers. Many colleges offer the teaching components of the Police Prep (PATI, WCT, PREP and B-PAD) and help students successfully pass the testing that is required to receive their "Applicant Testing Certificate". This is only the 1st of 12 steps in the process. Most candidates will fail to reach the 12th step or even come close and will not know why they were unsuccessful. Applicants may fail at the Development or Essential Competencies interviews because these interviews can last up to 4 hours. At the Ontario College, we work with our students to have them prepare, practice, rehearse, refine and perfect the material they need to succeed in all 12 crucial steps. Understanding the system and preparing for the entire process positions the applicant for greater success.
