The Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme is offered to Cadets over the age of 14 and many of the normal Cadets activities count towards this internationally recognised award scheme.
The Cadet Vocational Qualification Organisation (CVQO) is dedicated to helping members of the Cadet Forces get ahead personally and professionally. The qualifications on offer have been designed to show employers and educators the wide range of skills that young people and adults learn in the Cadet Forces.
