We cover a variety of subjects and have a lot of links with the public services. We’re taught by serving or ex members of a range of public services like Police Community Support Officers, giving us a true insight into the role. As an outdoor enthusiast, I also love the practical side of the course too, such as climbing, abseiling and paddle boarding.
