This training provides the core skills and knowledge common to all occupations. One of the goals of this course is to ensure that all recruits maintain the CAF physical fitness standard; as a result, the training is physically demanding but achievable.

This position is available for part-time employment with the Primary Reserve at Air Force wings and squadrons across Canada.
