What the college says

Not everyone can build a career in the emergency public services or the military. If you know you have what it takes, then this course will prepare you for a front-line or support role in the public services industry. While on the course, you will gain invaluable, first-hand experience from members of staff with public service experience in the Police, RAF, and a range of other services. The course combines classroom-based activities with learning through practical and outdoor activities. Skills for public service work are combined with exploring social issues, developing your personal fitness, playing sport and taking part in various outdoor activities. You will further develop your English and maths through Functional Skills and you will build your IT skills by completing the various elements of the course. These skills will help you complete your coursework and prepare for further study or employment..
