Three Instructors from the Ship's Company of Woking Sea Cadets successfully completed their Instructor Qualifying Course at HMS Excellent this weekend.

The three were Petty Officer Douglas Van-Henten and Sergeants Chris Richards and Tracy Bray.

The course, which ran over two weekends, included Leadership, Drill, Child Protection themes, to name but a few.

The successful completion of this training means that they have completed their probationary period and can now join the ranks of the qualified staff.
