“I am simply saying that your coaching for this promotion is the key to success for anyone involved. It is literally the talk of our department. The almost daily buzz around is ‘who got Reilly?’ and ‘Reilly is worth his weight in gold.’ You have become legend.”
-Oral Board Coaching Client
Since 2004, over 90% of our coaching clients have passed their promotion exam…
More impressively for them, over 1/3 were #1 on their promotion list
- Coaching is a customized process to help you achieve your goal. Through questions, strategies, and feedback, you get the opportunity to grow and improve in advance of your oral board exam.
- Coaching allows you to gain insight into what the assessors are looking for, as well as what to avoid. It gives you a one-on-one opportunity to practice answer strategies, focus on common testing areas and exercises, and get the feedback to sharpen your skills before the big day.
- Coaching can be a one-time strategy session or a multi-session approach that builds growth through strategies, exercises, and feedback.
“Bill, your knowledge and insight into the promotional process was invaluable. With your assistance, I not only reached my goal of finishing first, I also scored the highest in my department’s history on both the written and the oral portions of my exam. I would not hesitate to recommend your services and I look forward to using you in the future when I test for Lieutenant.”

$25150 in additional income for you?
That is what you stand to gain as a police supervisor or manager according to May 2010 data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. They reported that amount as the difference between the mean annual wages of Police & Sheriff Patrol Officers ($55620) as compared to First Line Supervisors/Managers of Police and Detectives ($80770). And that’s just for one year; imagine multiplying that by 5, 10, or 15 years!
