Teamwork and Leadership in the Community Level 2 Diploma

This course is a work-related one year study programme that gives you a balance of specific public service knowledge, understanding and skills.

Being a public servant requires good communication skills, leadership ability, compassion, discipline, and commitment to improving the lives of people in your community.  

This programme aims to improve these essential skills and also gives you access to relevant public service professionals. Plus you will have the advantage of starting out on your chosen career path.

Finally, you will have the opportunity to improve your GCSE grades to a 3 or 4, plus the possibility to progress to our Level 3 course.

Why choose
Teamwork and Leadership in the Community Level 2 Diploma?

You will be taught by former public service professionals who have a wealth of knowledge and experience in the field. There is also an Army Cadet Force element, which facilitates field exercises, external trips, rifle range activities and leadership roles.

Course delivery is a mixture of traditional lecturing methods, witness statement activities, practical assessments, presentations and research projects.

External speakers from each of the public services regularly interact with individual classes, and groups will participate in frequent trips to places like Hampshire Police and locations of The British Army.

Practical elements include adventurous activities such as kayaking, archery and climbing, as well as expeditions that test your navigation and camping skills.
