Latest News
There is always so much going on across our various campuses and courses. Stay up to date on our latest news.
We have seen fantastic progress with the fitness of our Protective Services learners. The majority of classes have been introduced to Initial Military Fitness (IMF) as well as more functional fitness such as stretcher races on the beach.
Students have done an amazing job so far, and will continue to be “pushed” for the remainder of the year. Students are also working on their fitness outside of college in their own time and take ownership on their progress, which is great to see. The benefits of this will help career progression as well as physical and mental health promotion.

Our Year 2 students also started on a high, completing a 1-night residential in the Brecon Beacons.
There was a reintroduction to map reading and a canoeing serial on Glyn. The learners camped overnight in wet conditions, which assisted in the development of resilience.
