If you dream of pursuing criminals, triaging medical emergencies or rescuing people from smoke-filled buildings, this is the Academy for you. BTC has partnered with Devon and Somerset Fire & Rescue Service and Avon & Somerset Constabulary to create an exciting Academy for those interested in the uniformed protective services. You will be expected to perform community engagement activities and cover areas such as missing persons’ management, first aid, conflict resolution, water and hose training, road traffic collision management and communication, as well as take part in a live scenario at the end of the 18-month programme. It runs one evening a week during term time and entry is by application process only.

The mission statement of the 999 Academy is to provide knowledge and skills for individuals by raising aspirations and promoting a positive image and using the following core values:

• Respect
• Inclusion
• Education
• Safety
• Community

This opportunity will be available for students in their second year of study, via an application process.
