At the college, students follow a weekly routine of activities and the course curriculum. This includes vocational and skills training, physical training, military training days and assessments.
Forming a daily routine, which starts with an alarm clock to catch local transport to the college, can be daunting at first, but it will lead to a healthier lifestyle and it will help you to achieve your goals of gaining a career in the British Armed Forces or it will prepare you for the world of work.
Students need to be self-motivated and have a desire to achieve their personal goals. We recognise the potential in every one of our students and we will be with you every step of the way.
The college prides itself on adhering to a set of core values which are embedded throughout the training programmes.
All students are encouraged to develop these values which will then remain with them throughout their careers.
Our core values are:
Honesty: I will be truthful to myself and others in all situations.
Integrity: I will do what is right, no matter what personal effort is required.
Diligence: I will be thorough and persevere until the best possible result is achieved.
Transparency: I will be open, fair and without deceit in my attitude
Consistency: I will be reliable and trustworthy so that people can depend on me.
Empathy: I will recognise the experiences of others and act accordingly.
Loyalty: I will be faithful to my team and the college so that we can operate effectively.
Dedication: I will give my full enthusiasm and commitment.
Pride: I will be proud of who I am and what I am able to achieve.
Respect: I will respect those around me and demonstrate personal qualities which command the respect of others.
Teamwork: I will use my individual talents to help achieve the goal of the team.
Robustness: I will display a strong and vigorous attitude both mentally and physically.
