The staff are more than willing to help in any way they can, even if it’s an out of college problem.

The Learning & Skills for Life department helped me improve my Maths and English, and the IT Dept is both well equipped with up to date computers, and they have a great lab to gain hands on experience in repairing and rebuilding computers.

“It has been a real bonus having the Legion Welfare Officer on campus as this enabled me to access information on the support services that are available to all ex Service men and women through TRBL.”

The options open to Servicemen and women embarking on a civilian career are innumerable but making a choice, until they are aware of their own hidden talents and recognise the unique qualifications which the military life has provided them, may be difficult.

Few are prepared for the sense of grief experienced on leaving pals of many years, for the loneliness, even isolation, that they face as they move into civilian life. The Remount Programme was launched to resolve this.

The Programme delivers residential courses over four days at Brathay Hall, Lake Windermere. It provides people about to leave the Armed Forces with the tools, techniques and procedures for handling the dramatic changes they encounter when moving from a culture where the criteria is: high performance, commitment, reliability, and unwavering loyalty in difficult circumstances and often in the face of exceptional danger, to one largely driven by the demands of civilian life.
