Scorch
Not to start a large topic on this the last Apprentice College closed about 4 years ago. It is now called the Army Foundation College, which includes all the Corps from the Army, less the Int Corp, RMP and QA’s (Adult Entry only).
All other 16-17.1 year olds, now attend the Army Development Course in Winchester.
My apoligies
must be my age
Scorch I think you are talking about members of The Army Preparation College, These are young boys and girls who attend a course to prepare them to join the forces.
mike you are 100% right but it is now called the (MPC) The Milatery Preparation Course
however i will confirm this tomorow
Scorch we got a Military preparation course (MPC) here in Wrexham and have had a lot of candidates from these courses:smile:
