MPCT has always taken pride in the standards of our Learners who attend the Royal Marines Look at Life Courses based at the Commando Training Centre in Lympstone.

Over 30 Learners were selected from our Military Preparation Colleges all over Wales and England, Learners who were reported by College Staff to show keen interest in joining the Royal Marines and have all already started their applications for specifically joining the Royal Marines. All Learners who were selected have shown an excellent and robust attitude on a daily basis in college life, and give 100% effort to their training which will be required in the Royal Marines.

We had the best reports back yet, with a record number of Learners passing the course. Congratulations to all Learners involved and keep up the excellent work.
