BTEC Award for Public Services

F/Sgt Dan Leedham, of 44F Bradford Sqn, was presented his BTEC First Diploma (Level 2) in Public Services with the grade of Distinction, equivalent to 4 GCSEs A*-C.

To gain this award, he gained a level of distinction in modules in Public Services employment, services skills, fitness, adventurous activities and teamwork as well as land navigation by map and compass and expedition skills. Most of these activities are covered in general cadet activities, but require a level of commitment and work above and beyond

The Duke of Westminster KG CB OBE TD DL, said: The BTEC Diploma is an internationally recognised qualification that is well respected in both the workplace and institutes of higher education and this award is therefor a platform on which cadets can build a successful future.

This award is one of many open to all cadets, free of charge, between the ages of 16-19 years old.
