NUMBER ONE IN THE CORPS!!!

 

261 WIN THE CORPS DRILL COMPETITION!!!

The Air Training Corps is often described as one of the "best kept secrets" for   

young people.  Currently the ATC consists of over 40,000 cadets, nearly 10,000

volunteer staff and 5,000 committee members.  The ATC is one of the most successful youth organisations in the world and you have the opportunity to be a part of this great experience.  Air Cadets are aged 13-18 years and take part in activities that many young people would not even dream of having the opportunity to do. 

As an Air Cadet you get the chance to go flying and gliding, get taught how to shoot, take part in many team sports up to a National level, go on camp at RAF and Army bases throughout the UK and overseas, learn adventure training in the field, as well as going climbing, abseiling and canoeing...the list is endless!  If an activity isn’t available in the ATC it won’t be worth doing! The Air Training Corps is also the largest operator of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme.  The ATC’s Commodore-in-Chief is HRH Prince Philip, and he takes a keen interest in the organisation.    

 The ATC Motto is: "Venture Adventure"

The aims of the Air Training Corps are:

  • To promote and encourage among young people a practical interest in aviation and the Royal Air Force
  • To provide training which will be useful in the Services and Civilian Life
  • To foster the spirit of adventure and develop qualities of leadership and good citizenship
