Course Details

The Level 3 Diploma is a two year programme aimed at providing learners with the skills and knowledge needed to prepare them for a career in the Uniformed Public Services. It includes practical fitness and outdoor adventure skills alongside subjects such as leadership, citizenship and public service policies.

Our aim is to enable the development of personal responsibility, leadership and self-discipline. Our CCF is an educational partnership between the college and the Ministry of Defence.
