BTEC First Diploma/Certificate in Teamwork and Personal Development in the Community

UPDATED 20161102 13:26:51

This course is challenging and rewarding and is being made available to KS5 students. The focus of the course is to study the uniformed public services. This includes; the Armed Forces, the Ambulance Service, the Fire Service and the Police Service. The course is a mix of both classroom based work and practical elements that take place either at school or off-site. Some of the areas pupils study are; • What careers are available in the uniformed public services? • What is it like to work in the uniformed public services? As well as studying for the BTEC Qualification, all pupils are enrolled in the school’s Royal Navy Cadet programme. This will give them the opportunity to learn sailing and rowing at Edgbaston reservoir and undertake residential trips. This year, pupils have been to HMS Raleigh in Cornwall and on a Tall Ships sailing expedition. They have also undertaken CPR Training, team building exercises and visit to local fire stations. Pupils have also benefited from a member of the uniformed public services visiting the school to discuss their jobs and careers. The course aims to develop pupil’s independence, vocational skills and knowledge
