Cadet Training

When you join the ATC you are known as a probationer cadet, this is just so that you have some time to see if you like the ATC and what it has to offer.

After the probation period you will have been enrolled and given your uniform. (The uniform is free/on loan all you have to do is provide your shoes and boots. When you leave you just hand back all issued kit). This is usually done in the first 3 months and you become a second class cadet.

You then continue on with your first class syllabus until you are ready to take your exam.

Dont worry all exams are mulipul choice.
