Where will I be studying?

People who choose to work in the Uniformed Public Services, whether this be the Emergency Services or the Armed Forces, often choose to do so because they like variety and a challenge.  These jobs are not conventional desk jobs and staff working in them support each other in order to fulfil their roles successfullly.

All courses start with a 4 day ‘Bootcamp’ to ensure that both teamwork and discipline, particularly self-discipline are embedded into the course.  There are a variety of trips throughout the year in the UK, which are great fun and help to develop your team work and communication skills. .  Students are required to wear a uniform one day a week, on camp and on any trips and will learn drill and inspection getting them ready for all aspects of the Public Services.
