HQ Air Cadets is arranging an increasing number of Work Experience Courses. The courses are primarily aimed at cadets considering a career in the RAF and provide an ideal opportunity to gain an insight into the roles and life style of serving personnel and what a potential career may entail; Staff are also required to provide 'duty of care' and additional pay days are available to participating staff.

Further course dates will be promulgated as the dates become available. Educational qualifications will be required for courses involving commissioned branches and NCA. At all courses, cadets will be given the opportunity to attempt the Multi Stage RAF Fitness Test to check their own level of fitness; cadets applying for the PEd course should have a good level of fitness, a natural aptitude for sports and preferably be in possession of the CSLA. Applications for courses should be submitted on the updated forms which can be requested from squadron.

It is hoped to include Av Tech courses plus additional Air Traffic Control, RAF Regiment and Aerospace Battle Manager Courses; Unfortunately for a variety of reasons we are unable to secure courses for Movements Controller, Weapons Technician, Photographer and Information Systems Technician. Dates and eligibility requirements for any of these trade courses will be announced if confirmed.

Applications will not be accepted for undated courses. We continue to seek development and expansion of the programme and will update accordingly when situations change and courses are confirmed.
