Leadership

 

 

There are many opportunities to develop leadership skills and build confidence as you progress your Air Training Corps career.

 

These courses are run during the school holidays by the New Zealand Cadet Forces and New Zealand Defence Forces Staff. They are usually around a week in length and are held at military establishments.

 

These are free of charge or offered at subsidised rates and include travel to and from the course as well as accommodation and meals staying on a Defence Force establishment.

 

The courses that the Air Training Corps offer cover a wide range of topics, such as leadership, bushcraft, flying and more.
