For those X(SM) candidates going to Sift and AIB, you will need to know your training pipeline in great depth. Unfortunately it's bloody difficult to get ahold of (nigh on impossible). I passed my AIB yesterday so this is your pipeline, accurate as of April 2011;
- 14 weeks at BRNC (Militarisation, culminating in BLD and then ABLE)
- 14 weeks at BRNC (10 weeks IFT, Fleet Board, culminating in MARL and then Passing Out)
- 14 weeks at BRNC (Initial Warfare Officer (Foundation) Course)
- 4 weeks at HMS Collingwood (Warfare Officer's Navigation Course)
- SFT (Specialist Fleet Time - 6-9 months onboard a surface vessel, mainly gaining bridge experience)
- 4 months at HMS Collingwood (Initial Warfare Officers Course)
- 13 weeks at HMS Raleigh with a 2 week stint at HMS Sultan (Submarine Warfare Course - 2 weeks at Sultan is nuclear-specific training)
- 3 months on operations on a Submarine gaining your Dolphins
Good luck!
