Ten students from Newcastle Under Lyme College (NULC) recently
spent an arduous week with the Royal Marines down at their Commando Training
Centre in Lymstone, Devon.
This unique trip was organised by the College’s
Uniformed Public Services Course and was designed to give the students an
insight into the world of military life as part of their BTEC Level 3 ExtendedDiploma in Public Services.
During the students’
time at the training centre they were put through their paces by battle
hardened Royal Marine instructors who gave no quarter as the college students
completed assault courses, gym tests and timed runs. Keen to impress on the students that becoming a Royal Marine
is not easy, and not for everyone, the instructors didn’t go easy and this was
much appreciated by the students.
NULC Public Services student, Adam Hassan said: “It was a really demanding but very enjoyable week, it just flew past. I
especially enjoyed the assault course and gym tests”.
Public Services Tutor Ron Morley
was delighted with the effort and attitude displayed by the students whilst at
the Centre. He said: “The students were a credit
to our College. The visit provided an ideal opportunity for the students on the
Uniformed Public Service Course to sample military life and help them make
informed choices about their future careers”.
Curriculm Leader for Public Services, Rob Hadnam said: “The Uniformed PublicServices Course is a must for those young people who are considering a career
in the emergency services or the military. The college website has more
information on our course and what we offer. The next course starts in
September. “
