Contender Am-Box Programme - The First Bradford College Students Pass The Course

The first of three hundred Public Service students at Bradford Police & College Boxing Academy due to take the Contender Am-Box course in September and October have passed with flying colours. Group NCFE L1 (A), pictured below with Public Service lecturers Ken and John, were the very first to pass after completing their programme coached by Mally MacIver and Paul Porter, and supported by Public Service staff.



Kevin Ramsden, the Curriculum Team Leader for Public Services at Bradford College, said "I'd like to congratulate those students who passed the course, and I'm sure that there will be many more in the weeks to come. The Contender Am-Box programme has gone fantastically well so far, and I am confident that the skills learnt will serve our students well in their future gritty roles in the Police, Fire Service and armed forces."

Barry Jones MBE, founder of the Police Community Clubs of Great Britain - the partner organisation with Bradford College in the BPCBA, said "I cannot express how pleased we are with the enthusiastic and undiminshing drive of the boxing team at Bradford College. This programme, which in its first year at Bradford College will engage more than three hundred Public Service students and other branches of the student body, is burgeoning and has generated interest throughout the UK."

Mally MacIver (Head Coach) and Paul Porter (Bradford Boxing Development Officer) would both like to express their admiration for those students who have worked so determinedly to pass the course.

Any students failing the course will have the opportunity to retake before Christmas.
