WHAT WE DO

 

This is what it’s all about – activities that offer challenge, excitement, adventure and knowledge.

 

Don’t worry about being thrown in at the deep end; once you join  you will get to know the other cadets and start your recruit training. You will be gradually introduced to activities as you progress, so you can make the most of every opportunity that comes your way.

 

Get out and get active

 

Cadet life is about learning through practical experience, especially in the great outdoors! This can be experienced by participating in or FTX activities and also by attending Summer Training Programs.

 

 

Get airborne

 

Flying is central to our purpose and your cadet experience. You’ll have loads of opportunities to take to the skies:

 

Gliding – Soar to success! There are fantastic opportunities to glide while you are a cadet, with the ultimate goal of becoming a Glider Pilot or Private Pilot  and taking that solo flight.

 

 

Glider Scholarship – Feel the thrill of free flight, this six-week course is an intensive program of ground school and in-flight glider pilot training. Cadets who successfully complete their flight test and Transport Canada (TC) written exam will qualify for a Glider Pilot Licence and be awarded Air Cadet Glider Pilot Wings.

 

 

 

 

Power Scholarship – The pinnacle of your Cadet career. This seven-week course is an intensive program of ground school and in-flight pilot training. Cadets who successfully complete their flight test and Transport Canada (TC) written exam will qualify for a Private Pilot Licence and be awarded Air Cadet Pilot Wings.

 

 

 

 

 

 Think you can lead?

 

You may have more talent for it than you think. Leadership qualities are in all of us and one of our goals is to bring them out. In addition to the Leadership training you will learn on regular parade nights you will have the opportunity to attend leadership courses during the summer.

Make it through and you’ll be a more confident and responsible cadet having learned the full benefits of working in and leading a team.

 

Then, for an extra challenge, you could find yourself staffing at any of the Cadet Summer Training Centers in Canada.

 

 

Training Syllabus

 

A key part of the cadet experience is your progress through the training syllabus. Set out in stages for you to work through and gradually develop your leadership and instructional techniques, it enables you to open up more possibilities for summer training and rank promotion.

 

We expect a lot from you – it’s a serious commitment to be a cadet – but once you’ve experienced it the rewards will be great!
