Fire Cadets Award Two has been created to continue progressing and challenging the development of key skills for life, learning, employment and citizenship for our Fire Cadets.
The Fire Cadets Award Two content has been designed around existing Fire Cadets activities and should naturally enhance and compliment local programmes. The Award also introduces some new themes and topics, with the aim of diversifying the Fire Cadets experience.
Award Two is designed to recognises the progression that young people will make from Award One, developing their knowledge and understanding of Fire and rescue but more importantly their understanding of citizenship, communities and themselves.
To provide fire cadets with a structured and progressive development Award that supports local programme delivery.

To complete The Award Two, Cadets must complete Award One plus an additional 4 Credits from the mandatory units and 5 credits from the optional units. They must also assist in the organisation of 3 Social Action activities for the Award One, and 3 Social Actions for the Award Two. (See paragraph below on Social Action).
