This is a vocational award run in conjunction with
City & Guilds. The Licentiateship provides distinctive and formal
recognition of personal achievement and the application of professional
and technical expertise within the Cadet Forces.
Learners must demonstrate through their written work, a knowledge and
competency equivalent to that which could be expected of a graduate at
Foundation degree level or someone who has gained a vocational
qualification or NVQ at Level 4.
This award is suitable for those with a supervisory/first line
management skills level and is available to any Instructor who
has completed a minimum of 5 years Adult Cadet Forces service.
CVQO has the discretion to accept registrations for Civilian Instructors
at all three levels of Senior Awards. Applications will be treated on a
case by case basis and candidates will be required to complete the
Portfolio Route. However, if they have previous commissioned or SNCO
service, then the Reflective Route may apply. Individuals must have
served at least a minimum of 5 years service within the Cadet Force to
be eligible for the Licentiateship award.
If you are currently serving in the Armed Forces as either a Regular or as a Reservist and are posted to assist with the cadet movement, you can also apply for this award, providing you hold one of the aforementioned ranks. Registration fees are subtly different and could be open to MOD educational grants. Contact the CVQO office for further information and a registration form.
PERSONAL SKILLS AND PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
The Licentiateship award requires candidates to demonstrate how they meet the key criteria. As part of your award process, you will need to write a Reflective Report based upon:

Two routes are available for completing this award and you have two years in which to complete the award:
Reflective Route – open to Instructors who have attended the:
· KGVI Advanced Course (ACF/CCF)
You will be required to complete a 'Reflective Report' based upon what
you learnt on the above course and how you have since applied these
skills to your Cadet Force role. Your OC will be required to endorse, in
writing your abilities to demonstrate the necessary competencies before
your report is returned to CVQO for assessment.
Portfolio Route – open to any Instructor who meets the criteria, but has not attended the above course. For this route, you will be required to provide a portfolio of evidence (material that supports your claim), a Cadet Force / civilian CV and complete a Reflective Report on how you feel you meet the required criteria.
The successful candidate will gain an award which is of comparison to a
Level 4 qualification or Foundation degree. City & Guilds Senior Awards
carry with them the entitlement to use the post nominal letters LCGI
(Licentiateship City & Guilds Institute).
The cost of this award is £130.
