A career in uniformed public services can lead to a lasting and fulfilling professional life, but how far could it take you?

Choosing one of our Public Services courses could be your first step to joining the armed forces, the police, fire or ambulance services, prison or security services. In addition, your career choices will be based on valuable insight into the various roles and responsibilities a career in public services entails.

All our Public Service learners study a wide range of units on their courses covering topics to develop their understanding of:

  • Leadership and teamwork in the Public Services
  • Fitness Testing and Training for the Public Services
  • Understanding discipline in the Uniformed Public Services
  • Command and Control in the Uniformed Public Services

  • Instructing physical activity and exercise
  • Communication and technology in the Uniformed Public Services
  • Career planning for the public services
  • Responding to Emergency service incidents
  • Physical preparation, health and lifestyle for the public services

We provide opportunities to study BTEC Diplomas at Level 1, Level 2 (Equal to 4 GCSEs) and Level 3.  The Level 3 ‘Fastrack’ allows learners to complete 12 units in one year (Equal to 2 A Levels) with a second year option to upgrade to the full Extended Diploma (Equal to 3 A Levels) with added additional qualifications.

Achieving the full time college qualification, together with practical experience gained from additional awards and qualifications, enables our learners to progress onto more advanced courses, such as HNDs, Degrees, or directly into employment within the industry.
