Do you dream of a career in the police, military, or other uniformed services, helping others and making a difference in a wide range of roles either in the UK or overseas?
Our Level 2 course will help you develop your skills in teamwork, leadership and physical fitness, preparing you for further study at Level 3 where you will specialise your training in either policing or uniformed services.
You will be taught by industry specialists with years of experience in the police, military, and other uniformed services, and will have access to our own gym for physical fitness sessions held as part of the course.
The Level 2 route is a great option for those who need to improve their grades in GCSEs, while doing taster sessions in a variety of trades, as well as experiencing what the uniformed services and policing courses will be like.
You will be advised on the careers available in the various services, benefit from different trips away from college and at the end of your course be supported by your tutors on which Level 3 pathway is the most suitable for you based on your career goals.
You will have a uniform that will make up your college kit with trousers, t-shirt, sweatshirt, and boots representative of the pathway you’re on, with blue for police and green for uniformed services. Students who are in receipt of funding can apply for support with this.
Requirements
You will need to have achieved GCSEs at grade 2 and above, and attend an in-person interview. You will be supported to resit GCSEs in Maths and English alongside your course if needed.
Assessment
Assessment will be though written assignments, practical tasks, presentations, self-reflection journals, professional posters and report writing in the style of the public services. There are no exams with this course.
Progression
You can progress on to Policing and Uniformed Services Level 3 at the college.
Successful completion of the qualification could lead to a police degree apprenticeship, army training, or into work in the services, policing or similar degrees.
