Some of the comments received about training:
Some training is very good, some is shocking. There appears to be no consistency in the delivery of training to reservists. Additionally, not all reserve training is accredited by external bodies, which can leave you thinking that the course was a waste of time.
Due to the unit’s recruitment pool being so large and our trade not being available at other stations that contain reserves, training is limited to one weekend a month. Much of this is consumed by going over old ground or completing mandatory training such as first aid. Mandatory training should take place outside of the core training programme. Furthermore, many of us complete such mandatory training with our own employers and even gain accredited qualifications. Therefore a more joined up approach with the public sector and employers should be sought to avoid such wasteful duplication.
The standard of teaching as compared to public sector institutions such as police, fire and ambulance is shockingly bad. I would urge the RAF to go and look at leadership programmes run elsewhere to see how junior leaders are being nurtured and developed.
I’ve been waiting to get on an FT1 course since 2014. Bumped off, cancelled and then completely stopped due to a change in the leadership team running the course. It’s a joke.
There are currently no promotion courses available for RAF Regt which is holding back career development! Which may have an impact on retention? Doesn’t seem to be any directive or time lines above Sqn level in what needs to be achieved or how it is to be achieved. All the reserve Sqn’s seem to have different ratios of FTRS / regular trade trainers which can impede the quality of training During training weekends a lot of the phase 3’s conduct station support. (Working on station). These tasks are often boring - again not very retention positive! I believe reserves need constant training due to the limited time that they get.
As a member of the RAF Regt I would like to see more courses available, we only seem to get team medic and bowman courses, would like to see more infantry courses such as mortars, sniper, SF cadre, etc.
