Air Cadet Instructors at CVQO Graduation

Twenty two Air Cadet Instructors from all over the UK were
recognised for their community based learning achievements on Friday
(23 October). Admiral the Lord West of Spithead presented the awards
at the CVQO (Cadet Vocational Qualification Organisation) graduation
ceremony, at the prestigious Britannia Royal Naval College
Dartmouth, in front of colleagues, families and friends.
They were presented with a City and Guilds Senior Award in Youth
Management and Training, comparable to Foundation, Honours and
Master’s degrees and achieved through their work as a Cadet Force
Adult Volunteers.
They were from among 88 adult volunteers from the Ministry of
Defence’s sponsored Cadet Forces across the United Kingdom to
graduate with CVQO internationally recognised awards from City &
Guilds. Successful completion of these awards recognises at least
five years of professional development and managerial experience.
Edward Woods, Chief Executive, CVQO, praised the volunteers’ efforts
saying: “The qualifications which you have attained are held in very
high regard. Not only do they demonstrate the importance and quality
of the training that adults receive through cadet training courses,
but they are highly valued within the world of work. We are
immensely proud of all you have accomplished and whatever your
ambitions, we wish you well for your continued success. On behalf of
all of us at CVQO I congratulate each of you here today. ”
Lifelong learning such as is available through CVQO and the cadet
movement, remains very much at the forefront of Government thinking.
Through its fundraising activities CVQO hopes to be able to expand
what it can offer to young people and adults alike.
