Army

The Liverpool College CCF Army Section prides itself in a long tradition of expert training. Our adult instructors bring an enormous amount of knowledge from various military backgrounds. Our aim is to ensure that cadets learn basic military skills whilst having fun.

The Army Section features the use of the L98 GP Rifle, which is both light weight and robust making it ideal for the Cadet. We have a shooting club which meets every Thursday to practice with the 0.22 rifles on our own indoor range. Weekend shooting events are held mainly at the ranges at Altcar near Southport.

DofE

Staff at Liverpool College CCF are responsible for the delivery of the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme (DofE)

Participation in the Award gives young people the opportunity to develop time management skills. All activities should be undertaken in their free (i.e. non-directed) time and are often after-school or lunchtime clubs; evening clubs or activities or weekend activities. Since the Award is simply an extension of a young person's personal interests and activities, and has a long completion time, Award work can fit around school.
