Activate yourself

Albuhera Company actively wants our cadets to succeed. All cadets start by learning the basics before moving on to the Star Cadet Awards - starting at one star and moving all the way through to four. Achieve that and cadets can be put forward for an assessment course to be recognised as a Master Cadet.

As the cadets progress through each stage they'll learn more and more advanced techniques in all subjects. They'll also be given a training role where they can develop their own teaching techniques by teaching the younger or less experienced cadets in their detachment.

ACF activities are as varied as they are exciting. Below is a list of ones the ACF regularly participates in.
