Level 2 Entry into the Uniformed Services (Military Mentors)

This course is run by Military Mentors at our partner site, based in Bridgemary, Gosport.

The Forces Ready Programme is a Full Time College Course and is taught by former members of the Armed Forces. It incorporates a Level 1 or Level 2 Diploma in Entry into the Uniformed Services and has an extensive fitness programme designed to get you to the level of fitness required to get into the Armed Forces. We also undertake Leadership Training within the course to give you a head start when you join the Services. No other colleges offer this.

Additionally, students have extensive enrichment opportunities during college hours. These can include:

• Sport and physical training daily to ensure you pass the Forces Fitness Test first time
 
• Visits around HM Warships
 
• Trips to Military Bases Team based military style challenges and football matches against other colleges
   
• Conducting a ‘Hostage Rescue’ exercise with an ex Special Forces instructor
 
• Briefings by Army Infantry soldiers, serving Royal Marine Commandos
   
• Presentations by Royal Navy, Royal Marines, Army and RAF Recruiting Teams
   
• Fitness training taken by Royal Navy Physical Training Instructors
 
• Briefings by Royal Military Police, RN Police and RN Special Investigations Branch
 
• Briefings by ex-Military Mentors students who have now joined the Armed Forces
   
• Workshop by RN Police teaching fingerprinting, taking DNA and handcuffing
   
• Demonstration and briefing by RAF Dog handler (briefing by handler – not the dog!)
   
• Scenes of Crime Unit visit with an in depth briefing by Crime Scene Investigator
   
• Briefing and demonstration by Royal Navy Clearance Divers

There is of course classroom work to be done to ensure that you get your academic qualifications, but we ensure that you get a great balance of classroom, sport and enrichment activities. If you need to take GCSE maths or English again, we can also help you with this.
