BTEC air cadets from Devon & Somerset Wing Music Flight were present at Taunton Armed Forces Charity Day recently, and helped raise over £50,000 for the cause, whilst also taking part in a nationwide Olympic initiative.

  CVQO Regional Operations Manager Steve Mills was present at the Staffordshire Wing Annual Field Day at MOD Stafford recently; presenting the winning prize following a CVQO sponsored BTEC poster competition.

Tameside cadet Richard Carter, 16, has recently been awarded with his BTEC First Diploma in Public Services, achieving the highest grade possible of a Distinction Star.

Richard says, “I’m really pleased that I finished my BTEC, and I will definitely be encouraging other cadets to enrol this year. The qualification has given me a bigger perspective of the public services, especially the armed forces.”
