We are a uniformed services activity centre offering a unique and exciting Duke of Edinburgh's Award Gold residential for 16+ year olds. Applicants will spend an action-packed five days and four nights at Kibblestone International Scout camp in the heart of Staffordshire participating in challenging but enjoyable daily activities that center around the fire & rescue service but also working with the police and ambulance services, where they will learn and discover new skills both for now and the future which can be applied in many future careers improving their confidence and boosting their employability.
All applicants will finish the gold residential with a FREE certificate for the emergency first aid at work & fire extinguisher qualifications - these are what we call skills for life (usual cost for these courses would be around £250). They will also receive a comprehensive certificate detailing the activities that they have completed during the residential which will enhance their CV for future employment.
Participants will be encouraged to develop skills such as communication, problem solving, leadership, working as a team and showing dignity, respect, and inclusivity to each other.
The fun activities that they will complete during the residential include hose running, use of breathing apparatus, casualty handling, decontamination and road traffic collisions.
Our team is made up of experienced emergency services personnel with many years in the fire and rescue, ambulance, police and armed services.
Our DofE co-ordinator has ten years as a Duke of Edinburgh's Award manager, expedition supervisor, gold assessor and outdoor instructor as well as 30 years as a teacher.
Throughout the week there will be a strong focus on our environmental responsibilities, the way the emergency services face this challenge and how young people can help shape the future in this area.
Our gold residential is perfect for anyone with an interest in the fire and rescue service or other emergency services as well as anyone wanting to learn key life skills applicable for the future.
At the end of the action-packed week there will be an awards ceremony which will reward the best team (watch) and star performer.
Price for the residential is £495 per person, all kit and equipment included as well as meals and refreshments.
Our next planned date for the residential is the week commencing August 26th, please get in touch to express interest.
We are able to offer places for anyone over 16 who just wants the fire-fighter experience if they are NOT doing the Gold Duke of Edinburgh's Award. This can either be attended either as a residential or through travel each day. Please contact us for our special offers for this.
We can deliver a wide range of health & safety training courses that includes the following: Outdoor First Aid, Emergency First Aid, First Aid at Work, Fire Safety, Marshal & Warden, Fire Risk Assessments and many more.
