If you are applying to become a Police Officer or Police Security Officer, you are required to complete literacy testing. These tests cover reading comprehension and written expression/writing skills. TAFE SA, in consultation with SAPOL, conducts these tests.

The SAPOL Recruitment Test (TAFE SA) may be available in some regional areas. If you cannot complete the SAPOL Recruitment Tests due to your location, please contact SAPOL Recruiting Section (Ph 7322 3353) to discuss alternative testing arrangements for country and interstate applicants.

You must be 17 years of age or over to sit the tests.

NOTE: SAPOL advises that a criminal or serious traffic offence history may deem you ineligible to apply as a Police recruit, community constable or Police Security Officer. If you have concerns about previous criminal or serious traffic offences, you should discuss them with South Australia Police Recruiting Section (Ph 7322 3353) prior to undertaking the SAPOL Recruitment Tests (TAFE SA).
