Whilst at Linnet Clough, and throughout the whole course students work as part of a team to complete a variety of practical, mental and physical team challenges. As part of their role they each undertake the responsibility of being a Team Leader.Due to the nature of the course and indeed the Linnet Clough Camp experience, they are able to undertake this task on a number of occasions.

Students are asked to reflect on their own abilities at the beginning of the course in terms of communication skills, confidence and experiences of teamwork and leadership prior to starting the unit. This is then developed throughout the induction camp where again they are asked to evaluate, and in turn, work on their identified weaknesses.

This initial evaluation will then be compared with their skills at the end of the first year of the course, thus enabling students to see their progression and work towards achieving D2 of the grading criteria.
