Learners, families, volunteers, trustees and distinguished guests gathered at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst on Friday 30 October for the Cadet Vocational College Autumn 2026 Graduation Ceremony.
The ceremony, held in the historic Royal Memorial Chapel, recognised the achievements of learners who have successfully completed qualifications through Cadet Vocational College.
Graduates received qualifications spanning leadership and management, education and training, and professional recognition, reflecting the commitment, hard work and determination they have demonstrated throughout their learning journeys.
The ceremony was presided over by Cadet Vocational College Chairman of Trustees, Lord Lingfield, who joined staff, supporters and guests in celebrating the achievements of this year’s graduates.
Following the ceremony, graduates and their guests gathered for official photographs and a celebratory lunch in the Old College, providing an opportunity to reflect on their achievements and recognise the contribution many make through volunteering and supporting young people across the UK and beyond.
The event also provided an opportunity to recognise individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to Cadet Vocational College, with a number of special awards presented during the day.
Guy Horridge OBE, Chief Executive of Cadet Vocational College, said:
“Graduation is always one of the most important days in our calendar. It provides an opportunity to recognise the achievements of our learners and celebrate the commitment they have shown in gaining these valuable qualifications.
We are proud of every graduate and delighted to celebrate their success at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.”
Cadet Vocational College would like to congratulate all graduates and award recipients and thank everyone who attended, supported and helped deliver the event.
