Military Preparation Programme

MPP cadets who have graduated to join the Armed Services

Course Intent

The McKee’s Military Preparation Programme (MPP) draws on the experience of its instructors to help young men and women kick start their military or public service careers. We strive to build close relationships with Armed Forces recruiters. We endeavour to ensure your career stays on the right path and with training from ex serving military personnel. Training includes a wide variety of military skills such as: care and upkeep of uniforms, drill, navigation, field craft, basic survival techniques, First Aid which also includes Heart Start and CPR, weapon safety and marksmanship principles, camouflage and concealment, measuring distance, military knowledge, communications and a wider knowledge of Military requirements. This will give students the basic skills needed to progress through an exhilarating career in the military.

Considering the major overhaul of Army recruiting, increasing competition for jobs in the Armed Forces and the closure of Armed Forces Careers Offices, McKee College offers a unique way of ‘getting ahead’ of the competition and staying in touch with Armed Forces Careers advisers. Learn from ex-servicemen and women all the skills and knowledge you’ll need to not only pass selection but to advance through your career in the Armed Forces. Many of the students that attend selection during or after attending the Military Preparation Programme (MPP) progress into the Armed Forces.

As part of the MPP, cadets will learn skills and knowledge across a variety of public services and will work towards achieving the ASDAN accredited course in Uniformed Services. Students will also study GCSE English, Maths and Science as well as PHSE.
