The beginning of July saw two soldiers from 26 Regiment Royal Artillery, enrol themselves onto the Level 3 City & Guilds Certificate here at the centre. Both soldiers who are in the process of transitioning from the Military to civilian street attended a 3 week course where they were both trained in areas of the transport industry. Not only attending their courses, they were also assessed on information required to progress with their logbooks.

Ritchies is a big supporter of the Armed Forces and was very happy to see that it was a member of the Armed Forces who had been their first candidates to enrol on the new certificate.

The beginning of the course saw both candidates put through their paces in driving, responding to problems, optimising the use of logistics operations and various other assessment criteria’.
