Testimonials from Teachers

"On the 05 Sept 2022 Cambridge University Officers’ Training Corps & East Midlands University Officers’ Training Corps were given the opportunity to hear from Maj Jen Price (RA) on her Inspiring “12 Challenges in 12 Months” which is being completed for a charitable cause. This presentation provided a fantastic and inspiring insight into previous challengers and how future are being coordinated and prepared. Not only was this presentation about fund raising through extreme arduous challengers, but it provided a personal insight into the life experiences of Maj Jen Price and her career within the RA, a great advert for the Army and RA in front of an audience of seventy enthusiastic OCdts. I know our OCdts really enjoyed this presentation, for most found it extremely inspiring and will no doubt take some of the experiences away with them as they themselves start to prepare for future EXPEDs/Challenges with their OTCs next summer. Finally, I would recommend this presentation, not just to the Armed forces but any organisation that are looking for Inspiring Individuals to maybe come and inject enthusiasm and a sense of a “can do attitude” into a group or organisation” This is the perfect component!"

– Executive Officer, Cambridge University Officer Training Corps

"I asked Jen to come to speak to our University Officer Cadets and she tailored her talk for us; focusing on leadership qualities, a female perspective and the joy of adventure and challenge. Her presentation was varied with photos, video, and an engaging talk with lots of time for questions. We are very grateful to Jen for sharing her honest stories of overcoming tiredness and pain, and the blood, sweat and tears involved in achieving great success over the 12 challenges in a year. It was an enlightening, thought provoking and inspirational hour for all Officer Cadets and staff."
