Cadets Complete Bronze Leadership Course

On the 7th April cadets attended the final phase of a Bronze Badge Leadership Course, held at 148 (Barnsley) Squadron. We arrived at 0900 to get through a busy day, which was well-worth attending!  Up until Lunchtime at around 1300, we went through numerous interactive PowerPoints; learning the ins-and-outs of what the Bronze Leadership Course entailed. This included some very fascinating and key topics – from what characteristics a good leader holds to how a good leader addresses his/her team in order to perform a desired task. 

After lunch, we focused heavily on the practical side, completing multiple tasks with basic equipment such as rope, cones, a dummy and some buckets. It was challenging but very fun at the same time!  The Bronze Leadership course – which follows the Blue Leadership course – is well worth attending in my opinion and I will recommend doing it to anyone whom is eligible to do so.  Thanks to Pilot Officer Jackson and the Squadron Leadership trainers for giving their time to train us.
