Criminal Justice Test Prep Workshop
One of GSPCC’s most interactive courses is our CRIMINAL JUSTICE TEST PREP WORKSHOP (CJTPW). New England College has embraced this program for over four years now, offering it to their Criminal Justice majors. As a result, the college has seen a significant increase in Criminal Justice students landing jobs in the police and corrections fields. The CJTPW program is far more than just telling students about how the law enforcement and corrections testing processes work. We go much deeper than that.
