These are some of the comments received:


Reserve officers have the opportunity to undertake a CST that is considered equivalent to their Regular peers, I am unaware of any plans/intent to develop a ‘Course’ such as the FCSP to prepare them for such Command as no significant training burden to prepare me for this job.


There has been a markable difference between the training as a Junior Rank and that of a Commissioning/ed officer. The commissioned training has appeared far more relevant and of a very high standard.


Professional Officer Training for part-time (PTVR) officers is non-existent for certain branches (Regiment, Logistics, Admin). To fill established Logs Officer posts on this squadron, I’m reliant on retired ex-Regulars. That’s not always satisfactory because not all ex-Regulars are suited to the exigencies of Reserve service.


The Reserves have invested more in training and development for me than my full time employer and much of it is transferable to my day job.
