Officer Training?
First of all, I would like to say that I'm sorry if this seems to be a really stupid question, but I'm getting myself confused! I have applied as an Aircrew Officer, and I understand that if i am successful my basic training will be in BRNC Dartmouth.
The thing is, do officer applicants attend the nine week training in HMS Raleigh before this? I have been told by a friend that they do, but on the other hand, I can't find any reference of any training before you get to Dartmouth!
Thanks in advance for any help!

Re: Officer Training?
Thanks! That really helps - means I can stop wasting time looking into it, and instead concentrate of getting more info on BRNC!

But one that is often present all the same....you may not have tried navigating, flying and using the radio all at the same time with about 20 hours under your belt.Confused is not a quality we look for in Aircrew.

Re: Officer Training?
1. RN presentation at careers office - with a bunch of other officer candidates, just a powerpoint presentation and a dit about the various branches and jobs available, etc.
2. RT test - the standard tests done by all officer and rating candidates. Maths, English, mechanical comprehension, etc. There will be plenty of info on this on the site just have a trawl through.
3. Sift Interview - A formal, one to one interview with your careers officer. About an hour, motivation for joining, Navy knowledge, etc. Again there'll be plenty of info around this site. Following this you are given my full bundle of application forms.
4. Flying Aptitude Tests - This is where it gets tough! Two days up in RAF Cranwell, one day of testing. 5 hours or so in front of a computer screen doing barrages of tests. Lots of useful info on this here www.navy-net.co.uk/cpg...1868.html. and on PPRuNe.
5. Medical - At your careers office, or at a GP nearby. Pretty standard height, weight, etc. Questions about any ilnesses or medical conditions you might have. Basic vision and hearing tests. New
6. Admiralty Interview Board .
7. Aircrew medical - A much more in depth medical, done at Haslar the afternoon after your AIB finishes.
7. BRNC - Assuming you are succesful enough at AIB to win an Aircrew place.
