Preparation

Applicants for National Course are expected to participate in preparation sessions prior to applications being submitted and continuing until Selection Board Interviews. See the office staff for more details.


Selection Board Interviews

Interviews conducted by the Air Cadet League Provincial Committee will be to select the applicants for training. These interviews are to normally take place during the month of February.


Commitment

Considering the limited number of vacancies and the cost of training, it is very important that the cadets nominated are serious and ready to return to their sqn so that other cadets can benefit from their newly acquired experience, skills and knowledge.


Responsibilities

  • Cadets are responsible for enquiring about requirements, and for submitting all the required documents prior to the deadline established by the Sqn CO.

  • Parents/Guardians are responsible for confirming that all information provided by their son/daughter/ward is correct.

  • Sqn Staff are responsible for ensuring the participation application is filled out completely, for confirming that all required information/documents are provided and correct. Sqn Staff are also responsible or ensuring that cadets meet all prerequisites for the courses they applied for and providing guidance and information to their cadets.


Remember

Submitting an application for a National Course does not mean you are selected for summer training. All applications are forwarded to the Air Cadet League Provincial Committee and all applications must be reviewed. All applicants must be interviewed before selections are made. The Sqn Commanding Officer and Squadron Sponsoring Committee Chair can only recommend your selection.
