Are you starting Level 3 Public Services at HSDC Alton in September? You’re in the right place!
Before you arrive at HSDC Alton we’d like you to complete some research on some of the modules you’ll be studying. It’s the type of work you’ll be doing when you get to College.
Please send your Getting Ahead work to – Gettingahead-publicanduniformedservicesac@hsdc.ac.uk
To be successful in any of the uniformed protective services you will need to know what they do, what roles they have, what requirements they have to join and how much you will be paid. Please do some research using Google and answer the following questions:
The course will support and help you learn the levels of fitness required by a specific uniformed service during the recruitment process and how diet and exercise will contribute to improving your own physical fitness. You will then be expected to improve your own level of personal fitness. Please research the fitness tests you have to complete when joining a service of your choice.
Get ahead and download the 100% Army Fit App on your phone to get you fit for College. Select ‘I want to get fitter’ and set your start date for 01/09/2024. You will get a personalised plan and you don’t need any equipment. In September you can show us the improvement in your fitness testing.
