In early 2027, Iโm putting on another couple of my in-person police promotion masterclasses.
Get detailed and structured promotion and leadership support to focus your preparation, suitable for Sergeant, Inspector and Chief Inspector promotion processes.
Avoid the common mistakes most police promotion candidates make and stand out from the crowd with tried, tested and proven support. Give your police leadership ambitions for 2027 a massive boost, wherever you are in your career.
Whatโs more, book during November (or anytime as a group of 4) and youโll receive a ยฃ100 discount on this great value, content-packed day.
Places are limited to a small classroom, giving a more personalised approach, so book now to avoid disappointment. For larger audiences required in-force, see my seminars offering.
โ…really helped me to focus. Despite the fact I was the only person who had never done any acting, Iโve managed to pull it off.โ – Tamzin, passed Sergeantโs promotion board
In this blog I summarise whatโs entailed, how you can book, key logistical information and why this investment in yourself will set you up for success in your leadership ambitions.
Why Rank Success Masterclasses Lead the Way…

Rank Success leads the way in a proven track record of success for over a decade of supporting officers with their leadership and promotion ambitions. Hundreds of testimonials demonstrate how my unique and tailored approach makes sense of the mayhem and demystifies promotion, whatever your force, rank, or โlucky dipโ assessment process.
My methods are tried, tested and proven, time and time again. From demystifying the CVF into plain English, explaining the role, helping you build strong evidence, and giving you the most effective leadership preparation in the shortest possible time.
โI found Steveโs dynamic and positive delivery a real boost to my preparation. The mix of interview tips and motivational clips meant that I left the master-class ready for my Inspectors interview. Just six days later I was interviewed and passed it. By following Steveโs preparation tips I was calm and ready to tell the panel why I should be promoted. I have no doubt that this was the difference between passing and failing.โ – Julian, passed Inspectors promotion board
100% of Masterclass attendees say they would recommend Rank Success.
This overwhelming endorsement derives from the dozens of these intimate masterclass workshops Iโve delivered to hundreds of candidates over the years, based on feedback given at the end of the day.
Nowhere else offers better value either. While some providers charge officers ยฃ1,000 – ยฃ3,000 for promotion support, Iโm interested instead in offering maximum value for my clients. I keep all my services comfortably lower than this, maintaining complete transparency of pricing on my website.
The full day is just ยฃ399, the same price as before (I will be absorbing inflation cost rises). Further, get a ยฃ100 early bird discount when you book this month, using saver code EARLYBIRD100 at checkout.
