CVQO Leadership Course 2017 - entries now open

What is it?

A week-long residential leadership course, taking place between 23 – 27 October 2017, at Outposts in Somerset.

During the week, cadets will complete an exciting programme of physical leadership and teamwork tasks as well as an ILM Level 3 qualification in Leadership and Management.

The course, combined with their experience of leading others in their youth organisation, will enable the cadet to complete their assignment workbook in order to achieve the qualification.

They'll be led by expert instructors from Outposts for the practical components, with CVQO staff delivering the course content.

Sounds great, how much does it cost?

It’s free and open to all CCF cadets.

Places for the course are extremely limited with space for only 64 cadets – however if the course is oversubscribed, as it was in 2016, CVQO may increase the number of available places.

Application process

The online application process is now open and will be open until approximately the end of September.

CCF Contingent Commanders should nominate one first choice cadet and two reserves.

All cadets must submit a consent form to CVQO signed by a parent/guardian.

Cadets will only be eligible for a place if CVQO has received both the online application form and a completed consent form by their respective closing dates.

The first choice cadets from the first units who are eligible will be contacted by email and offered a place during the first week in October.
Reserve cadets will be expected to complete a consent form, with places offered to them only if the nominated first choice cadet drops out.

General enquiries should be directed to Cathie Sluman on 01276 459 063. Alternatively, you may contact her at events@cvqo.org
