Qualifications through Cadets

Cadet Vocational Qualification Organisation (CVQO) is a registered charity responsible for managing Vocational Qualifications for members of the Combined Cadet Force, Sea Cadet Corps, Army Cadet Force and Air Training Corps.  CVQO is dedicated to helping both cadets and instructors of the Cadet Forces get ahead personally and professionally. The qualifications on offer have been designed to show employers and educators the wide range of skills that young people and adults learn in the Cadet Forces.

CVQO offers all Cadets over 16 the opportunity to earn a choice of internationally recognised vocational qualifications that are respected by employers as well as institutes of higher education.  Whether your objective is further education or improved opportunities in the workforce, a qualification through CVQO gives you the additional edge you need to reach those goals for the Cadet training you are already doing. Qualifications currently on offer:

The BTEC First Diploma in Public Services (worth 4 GCSEs )
The BTEC First Diploma in Music (worth 4 GCSEs )
The BTEC First Diploma in Engineering
The ILM Level 2 Certificate in Team Leading

All cadets are automatically signed up to the programme when they join the squadron subject to completing their probationary period.  Although the cadet may complete the requirements sooner, they will have up to two years to complete the requirements for the BTEC diploma.
