The Emergency and Uniformed Services sector can offer a very rewarding career pathway. With a diverse range of roles across areas of work such as the Police, Armed Forces, Fire Brigade and Ambulance Service, the industry is made up of important jobs that help to aid and protect the general public, allowing you to make a real difference.
The Emergency and Uniformed Services sector is not just made up of active roles such as Police Officer, Soldier, or Fire Fighter. There are also roles which might appeal to people who are interested in using or developing their administrative or computing/IT related skills, and there are many other roles you may wish to explore.
With the government’s recent commitment to increasing police numbers, it’s a great time to consider entering the uniformed services as a career choice. Recruitment in this area continues to grow and provide roles that are rich with opportunities for progression.
Our uniformed public services qualifications offer breadth and depth of study, providing learners with an understanding of the principles of the sector. Alongside pre-employment preparation, qualifications also offer learners the opportunity to develop the skills and qualities needed to work in a range of roles within uniformed services, such as leadership, conflict management and personal protection skills.
The qualifications also help prepare learners for application processes and fitness requirements through classroom-taught lessons, guest speakers, and practical and physical activities.
