This qualification is slightly smaller version of the Extended Diploma in Public Services, and is equivalent to two A-Levels instead of three.

This version of the qualification will allow students to retake their GCSEs in English and/or maths if they have not yet achieved a grade 4 or above.

On this course you will still study a wide range of public services subjects aimed at the uniformed and non-uniformed public services such as the police, fire service and the armed forces.

This course will provide you with extensive practical knowledge of the public services sector and teach you a range of industry skills so you can perform effectively in any public services role.

Students will learn a variety of modules including:

Teamwork and leadership
Outdoor and adventure activities/expeditions
Fitness, citizenship and diversity

Students will focus on improving their practical experience and teamwork by getting involved in activities including rock climbing, kayaking and orienteering.

In addition to this they will gain an improved understanding of the relationship between public services and the law by taking part in college visits to the Houses of Parliament, Bletchley Park and Courts of Law.
