RAF SECTION

The RAF Section is run by Flight Lieutenant A Kerley with Flying Officer R Head as his 2IC. The RAF Section does much of its training with the Army Section, but they undergo their own service training too. They are able to take three examinations over their career to become fully qualified. All cadets start by taking part in the Contingent recruit training.

Part 1 - Basic Training. The training received at this stage of a cadet's CCF (RAF) career is very important and should take about 6 months to complete. It will help cadets fit into the Section quickly and prepare them for all future CCF activities. This training consists of a basic recruit test and an initial introduction to air cadet activities.

Part 2 - Leading Cadet Training. The training at this level normally takes about 9 months and should widen a cadets interest in aviation subjects. Cadets should also become involved with project work as a compulsory part of the syllabus. This project time is an opportunity to pursue a particular interest in greater detail and is considered a very important part of the training. Once started, project work must be completed and careful thought must be given to the selection of the interest. Successful completion of this stage of training leads to the award of the leading cadet badge and proficiency certificate.

Part 3 - Advanced Training. Advanced training allows cadets to specialise and concentrate on the subjects that they find the most interesting. The project work continues through this stage of training which will now include improvement to organisational and managerial skills because, when qualified, cadets will be expected to take on the responsibility for organising and running various section activities. Successful completion of this stage leads to the award of the advanced badge and certificate.
