Summer Training Update

Good evening everyone,

 

A small update for 2021 summer training, as it stands now there will be a combination of In-person and virtual training courses. These are obviously subject to change and cadet safety remains the highest priority when planning and executing these courses.

 

The turn around time for registering for these courses is fast. Senior cadets there will also be staff cadet positions for those wishing to staff this year. Once we have the information on which courses are available to apply for we will update you.

 

For now keep a watch for the updates and start thinking about if you’d like to attend any form of summer training. The Summer Training tab on the website will have a few courses listed for what level you are in, keep in mind that these are courses normally offered before Covid-19 and not all will be available due to health measures.

 

Regards,

577 Training Team
