Corrections officer books?

well i bought th corrections officer exam book, my testing is april 4th , will the testing be the same as the book. im studying for it so i hope i pass. do you have any ideas where the training might be when people passes. let me know asap



Hello Dora. The book usually has a multitude of questions taken from the actual tests themselves. The main advantage is that you will see the type of questions that will be on the test. Any help in this area is a plus.





As far as your training, this is dependent on whether this is a county correction officer or state. If you are county, the Sheriff's Department that is hiring you will train you themselves. If you are applying for a state correctional officer position, you will attend the Corrections Training Academy for the state you are in.





I will add one more. If this is a Federal officers position, the training is done at the academy in Georgia.





Academy training is usually 5 to 8 weeks depending on which state. You stay at the academy during the week ( monday through friday) and go home for the weekends, unless you are local enough that you want to commute daily.





I hope this helps and you can find it useful
