Army Apprentices College

The Army Apprentices College was a college system in the United Kingdom that offered military training, education and common core skills, leadership and adventurous training, character development and trade training.[1]

Name changes

On 28 February 1924, a Boys' Technical School was opened by the War Office.[2] Five years later in 1929 it was renamed Army Technical School (Boys).[2] Several more such schools were opened in the 1930s. In 1947, they were renamed as Army Apprentices Schools.[2] The schools were finally renamed as the Army Apprentices Colleges in 1966,[2] though Arborfield's Army Apprentices College was known as Princess Marina College between 1981 and 1995.[3]

gollark: By "module" I take it you mean "functions with a cryptic one-letter prefix which you can #include"?
