REGULAR / LOCAL TRAINING

Weekly training commences on Wednesdays from September to June each year. These programs are delivered by the local squadron staff and the senior cadets.

The local squadron staff are part time DND employees and volunteers tasked to deliver the Locally Directed Program (LDA). Our staff have regular jobs during the day from all walks of life including teachers, aviation specialists, instructors, office workers, customer service representatives, university students...etc.

Each level have completion criteria for the cadets to track. Cadets must complete requirements by each May / June each year in order to qualify for advancement to the next training level in the fall. Completion of training program is one of the eligibility requirements for rank advancements.

Opportunities are provided throughout the year to complete the training requirements. However, it is up to the cadets to participate in these activities to complete their training. Training requirements are not waived by excuse notes (e.g. scheduling conflict, other commitments...etc). Cadets can participate in the next opportunity to qualify (up to 1 year).
