Cadets

 

If you've made it to this page then you're probably looking for a challenge; something to bring out what you're really capable of. Well, the Air Cadets is where you get to prove it - you may even surprise yourself with what you can achieve. Check out this section to answer your questions and help you get started. Joining is only the beginning...

Volunteers

 

If you're aged over 20 you can volunteer. That's it. No need for military experience or any form of previous training - we'll take care of that. We're just looking for suitable, enthusiastic individuals to help our cadets get the most from their time with us.

The benefits of being a part of the Air Training Corps are the same for volunteers as for cadets - the opportunity to do lots of exciting activities and develop personal skills and talents. As a volunteer this is free to you! Find out more about volunteering now.
