Military Training and Service Commitment
...top
NCMs attend college during the school year, and are required to attend basic and occupational training during the summer months.
Basic Military Training usually takes place the summer before college begins. It teaches basic military skills and CF core values.
Basic Occupational Qualification Training is the next step. It involves specialized training at a CF facility in Canada. The training facilities house sophisticated technological equipment, and courses are taught by highly skilled, experienced instructors.
Graduates must serve a number of years calculated on the basis of two months' service for each month of subsidized education or training.
