entry into the uniformed
services. As with the intermediate level course, the
aim is to give young men and women an insight into life in a uniform

put into practice in a series of expeditions and
practical exercises which develop a variety of skills. The challenging
nature of the activities on
the course also helps to improve the studentıs confidence

aspect of the course, although not a prerequisite for entry.
