MPCT 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS CORE VALUES: Diligence

We are now at our 10th Core Value, where we find Mr. Holmes of our newest college Military Preparation College Teesside receiving the ‘Diligence’ core Value Award. We love hearing the stories of our Learners who grow in confidence, and this story in such a short time is exceptional.

Mr Holmes arrived at MPC Teesside on the first day it opened with very little confidence and he had a very negative attitude about himself. He was struggling with his fitness and was anxious about getting in the Army as he was differed for his BMI. Mr Holmes is now a confident individual with a positive mindset and is currently at the Army Assessment centre. His BMI is down to what it needs to be, and he has improved on all aspects of his physical ability. Mr Holmes has portrayed lots of our Core Values, but mostly his determination and diligence in keeping at his goals has been recognised most by his instructors.
