A group of dedicated students from Bridgwater & Taunton College (BTC), who are a part of the Combined Cadets Force (CCF) extra-curricular group, collected their berets showing off their hard work and determination.
The Combined Cadet Force (CCF) provides military training and leadership to young people in the UK, sponsored by the Ministry of Defence, they are aiming to offer young people “a broad range of challenging, exiting, adventurous and educational activities”. 
The beret ceremony was held at the Bridgwater campus, taking place in the newly refurbished Student Union. Students from across many different courses and programmes took part, as the CCF accepts any students interested no matter their choice and level of study.
Andy Berry, Principal and CEO, attended the ceremony, presenting the berets, congratulating the cadets and marking what was a particularly special occasion.
Bethan Foweraker, Head of Student Engagement, said: “The college is thrilled to be sponsored by 165 Port and Maritime Regiment and to be working closely with Plymouth College and the Royal Logistics Corp.
