Adult Training

Just as there are Cadet courses run throughout the Region, there are also Staff courses. These courses can be organised at a Squadron, Wing, Regional or even National level. The type of courses available ranges from short introductory courses to the Air Cadet Organisation through to week long courses about Navigation or Propulsion. Wings often organise courses for Health and Safely Training, Adventure Training Qualifications, Media Skills, First Aid. There are almost as many opportunities for the Staff as there are for the Cadets.

Adult Vocational Qualifications

Your voluntary work can be rewarded through awards which CVQO has successfully mapped to Air Cadet courses. Your attendance on many of these courses means you may have already achieved up to 75% of the award requirements. So why not make the most of your hobby?

These awards are subsidised by the Air Cadet Organisation in recognition of the value of your contribution to the Cadet services. And what's more, these awards are already great value. Through CVQO you would pay a third of the comparative cost of applying directly through City & Guilds and a fifth of the cost compared to enrolling direct with ILM for a Level 3 qualification. CVQO provides you with as much support as you need to reach your end goal.

All of our awards are mapped to cadet courses that you do as part of your hobby. The learning schedule is convenient and allows you to fit your learning around other commitments so you can study at your own pace. There aren't even any enrolment deadlines to worry about. The variety of awards on offer is diverse and constantly expanding. Currently available to you are:

City & Guilds Graduateship in Youth Management and Training (Level 6)
City & Guilds Licentiateship in Youth Leadership and Training (Level 4)

ILM Introductory Certificate in First Line Management (Level 3)

Edexcel NVQ Verification Award (Level 4)
