Training |

Welcome to the 40 Squadron Training Centre. The Centre contains information on our training syllabus. Training is split over 4 terms just as schools are. Each term has a specific (topic) focus, usually based around upcoming camps, and lessons are selected from these topics. As well as the syllabus, Cadets will get to take part in Courses, Sports day, Combined camps, Unit camps, Shooting and Drill competitions, Parades, Events and other activities.

Cadets are then tested before being allowed to put their safety skills to practical use. WT is fully supervised, and while on a range, Cadets follow the orders of fully trained Range Safety Officers. WT is a unique experience, teaching knowledge and self discipline. |
