This qualification is slightly smaller version of the Extended Diploma in Public Services, and is equivalent to two A-Levels instead of three. This version of the qualification will allow students to retake their GCSEs in English and/or Maths if they have not yet achieved a grade 4 or above. On this course you will still study a wide range of public services subjects aimed at the uniformed and non-uniformed public services such as the police, fire service and the armed forces. This course will provide you with extensive practical knowledge of the public services sector and teach you a range of industry skills so you can perform effectively in any public services role.
