EDIT: Just out of curiosity, I just checked the TCOLE web site and it shows ETPA has a 99.23 overall pass rate for the licensing exam for the past three years total. From the chart, that appears to be a first attempt pass rate.
That is the ? of the day. How many get jobs. Go to a respected academy you are more likely to get hired as well.
Question; the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education
http://www.tcleose.state.tx.us/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; site still refers to it as TCLEOSE . Where are you guys seeing it as TCOLE?
All three academy's near me require you to be placed on the roster as a candidate only when they are looking to hire you upon certification, or a associated department paying for you to attend has requested you attend, and has provided a sponsorship letter with the intent of providing a job should you pass and certify.
IOW, if you attend academy... PASS and receive your TCLEOSE cert.. you have a job waiting. I was not aware it was not that way across the board.
My understanding of the pre academy screening, testing, interviews, boards ect is that those chosen to attend = the number of new hires desired,, either by the department that runs the academy or the departments sending folks to it.
