These are some of the comments received: Regulars still get priority over external courses
The current RAF training system needs to be reviewed and adjusted to reflect the increased proportion of Reservists under Force 2020. One of the biggest frustrations is that most courses have been developed and are run for regulars, and so only run Monday to Friday, which is when Reservists are working in their civilian day job. Very few courses are designed to run over weekends to accommodate Reservists, which means we have to take annual leave from our day jobs in order to undertake RAF courses on some occasions - or if our work diaries are too busy to be able to take time off during the working week, we end up not getting the training at all!
I need to undertake Regular courses and there are difficulties in obtaining course places for Reserves e.g. First Aid Instructor - Regulars take priority. This does not reflect the Whole Force Concept.
In most cases we do not have any issues when loading reservists onto courses
Being dissatisfied with the availability of courses also includes dissatisfaction with communication about what courses are available.
