DURHAM Police ECI Interview

[kyddforever]

Hey everyone,

I have my ECI next week. Im very nervous about it, I passed my LFI's with three other forces in past 4 weeks, and this is my first ECI ever.(my first out of 3 this month) I heard that with a valid sucesful ECI most forces will accept it as well.

Anyway, to people who have done ECI with DUrham, can i get any feedback on it please????

How many examples did they ask of you per each competency????
How long was interview in hours?????
What is pass\\fail rate at Durham for ECI???
Were they hard on you or no??????
Besides knowing 5 standard ECI competencies, what else was asked of you?????????

Thank You guys,

If anyone needs any help with LFI concerns let me know. We have to help eachother.

Hello Kydd,

I didn't have my ECI with Durham, but I have spoken to several who have-both sounded the same. 5 competencies - 1 example for each (provided your example is acceptable). I was prepared with an excellent example, and they asked for another one. What they do is at the beginning of each question, they ask you for a brief overview of your competency. If it is not acceptable, they will ask for another example.

My interview took 2 hours, but I have heard up to 4 hours... they go as long as you talk. When you are providing your example, they are writing everything you say down - so if you talk a lot - then you bump up the time....

As for pass or fail - they don't tell you, the just say whether or not your meet the criteria.

My interviewers were great, but I have heard of some being really hard. Just go in prepared, and you will breeze through it. Remember, they may be testing how you react to stressful situations, so remain calm, think before you respond, and use the paper they provide to formulate your response (but don't take too long ...) -hope this helps...
