NJ Police Sgt, Lt, Capt, DChf & Chief Promotional Exam Review Course 2025/2026
Classes will sell out, register early!
You may now register for the 2025/2026 NJ Police Sergeant, Lieutenant, Captain, Deputy Chief & Chief Promotional Exam Review Course. Prior Bernstein students will be given priority.
We will begin with advance online training. Our course is a hybrid designed to provide you with the right amount of online training and in-person classes. The advance online instruction is done personally by Dr. Bernstein and his top instructors. They will review select Attorney General Guidelines, Criminal Code 2C, and Case Law.
Both In-Person Classes + Online Self-Paced Option
Now you will get both! In addition to the in-person class schedule, the majority of in person classes will also be recorded and presented online for your ultimate convenience!
Certain select topics will only be taught in person, such as the Captain’s oral exam, in-class simulated practice exams, and other topics that require an immersive in-person experience.
If you can’t make it to an in-person class, no problem! You can easily catch up online with on-demand audio/video recordings!
