Cadets Testimonial about the importance of D of E

“In my opinion the award is great, as it helps to build you as a person and in aspects of life, it throws at you challenges that may seem hard at the time, but give you immense self satisfaction at the end when you complete them, it helps to build teams and stronger friendships with other cadets.

The award is especially important to me as I recently went for a new job, where the employer was extremely impressed at the external qualifications I held, which he stated proved to him that I could show commitment, leadership qualities and teamwork, I believe that this was a significant factor in being offered the job.

Overall I would say that the award is an enjoyable experience which I would recommend to anyone”
