The award mixes theory and practical elements with an emphasis on leadership, teamwork and communications and is the first step in the managerial process.  It is a valuable award recognised in industry by employers.

There are three components to the award which all need to be completed:

• Pass the relevant cadet course.

• Complete a 1500 word project based around planning a local community event which demonstrates team leading skills learned on the course.
