Cadet Training
As well as the practical activities the Air Training Corps has to offer to cadets and staff you will also undertake a modular and increasing complex plan of learning. When you join the cadets you will be instructed on the basics which will prove helpful and make visits to RAF stations and other activities more relevant.
As you progress through your training you will be taught how aircraft fly and why it is possible to fly aerobaitc manouvers. At this stage you will also be instructed in more depth how to navigate safely and recognise your surroundings on a map (so you won't get lost when undertaking your Duke of Edinburgh Award).
The third level of cadet training will introduce you to subjects that are useful both in civillian life and life in the Armed Forces. These include learning how jet engines work and how aircraft are built to learning how pilots navigate in the air.
Once you have completed these levels of training you will be given support and coaching so you will pass on the skills and knowledge you have learned to other younger cadets. At this point you will be supporting the staff team in delivering a well balanced and fun training programme to the other cadets.
Once you have completed your required examinations as a cadet you will be awarded a Level 2 BTEC in Aviation Studies which will supplement other achievements you can achieve as a cadet for your record of acheivement or CV.
As you click through the pages you will notice a difference between 'Classification' and 'Rank'. Classifications are gaind through passing examinations and all cadets are given support to pass these examinations in a classroom environment. Rank is earned by being a role model to other cadets. Cadets identified for promotion are also given training on how to 'lead' and motivate other cadets to work as a team.
