Military Training
Other Ranks (Non Technical) (Reserve)
The Recruit Course for reservists can be undertaken in either full-time or part-time versions. The full-time version requires the recruit to undertake a 10.2 week course at No 1 Recruit Training Unit (1RTU) which is located at RAAF Base Wagga in NSW. Access to the full-time course is subject to vacancies.
Most Reserve airmen/airwomen undergo the part-time version that comprises three modules. The first and third modules that comprise about 50 hours of instruction are delivered at the Reserve squadron. The second module is an attendance module of three weeks duration undertaken at 1RTU. The second and third module can be undertaken in any sequence. The first and third modules are based on open learning strategies and, therefore, can be commenced at any time. Usually, there are two opportunities each year to complete the second attendance module. Recruit training must be completed within two years.
