Success stories

There are not many things that help an individual stand out in a workplace environment at my age in terms of qualifications, but this certainly made a lasting impression on the company.

"Undertaking the CVQO-led ILM Level 5 has taught me to appreciate personal and professional development, not only for myself as the individual, but for the benefit of the Army Cadet Force.

"I have gained confidence in my ability and knowledge of being a leader and have started to believe in my own capabilities more."

"I have always struggled with exams as they cause me a great deal of stress which is why I left school at 16.

"However, being able to learn new skills through CVQO has allowed me to regain an interest in education and develop myself so I could become a more rounded individual."

“I had an interview for a new job a couple of weeks ago and have had an offer of a better job than the one I originally applied for.

"The feedback I received, along with the improved job offer, was that they were impressed with my ACF volunteering and the fact I’ve gone for a commission - the clincher was the CVQO-led ILM qualification I’d just finished."
