Air and Defence College

Peterborough College’s RAF Air and Defence College provides employer-led, career focused education and technical training for 16 to 19 year olds. Our employer supporters will work closely with us to provide this unique and innovative model, which is designed to create secure career paths in the RAF, Aerospace and Catering Industries.

The Programme

Our students will get involved with industry-set projects, co-designed by employers – equipping them to enter their career of choice ahead of the game and ready to progress. Air and Defence College students will spend a significant proportion of time experiencing industry environments first-hand through an extensive programme of work experience. Industry experts will join tutors at College to pass on their knowledge and expertise. Core academic study areas like maths, English and science will be contextualised to the specialism of the College. Digital skills development will be a major priority.

This course is very informative and opens your eyes to many options and jobs in the RAF and other services. The trips are engaging and tell you more about the specifics in the RAF and their roles which may interest you.

I enjoy visiting and taking a look at the RAF bases around the UK to see what it would be like if I was to join the RAF.
