MEMBERS TRAINING - YOUR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Your Personal Development commences when you join JLGB with courses initially operated at your local Unit.

At about the age of 15, you will start to benefit from participating in the JLGB Certificate in Leadership Skills and you will receive your personal record training book to record your progress.

The programme is designed to help you become competent at the three levels of Leadership Skills and satisfactory progress will form part of the promotion criteria.

Each level consists of a number of categories in: Brigade Skills, Organisational Skills and People Skills. You will attain these mainly during your normal parade evenings but also at camps and training courses or through other organisations.

As you achieve each level you will receive certificates to be included in your personal portfolio.

Almost everyone who has been in Brigade says what a good time they had and how much it benefited them in their career and in life generally. Whether it is self-confidence, teamwork skills or the ability to think on the spot, JLGB has given people skills which help them to a successful life.

That is what this scheme is going to do. It will give you the evidence of just how much is being achieved through JLGB. It will also acknowledge any certificated schemes that are done outside JLGB or in addition to normal Brigade activities. This includes aspects of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.
