The job

In the RAF every individual has a particular set of training and development needs. Our Training Officers are responsible for ensuring those needs are met, at every level of the organisation.

As a Station Training and Development Officer on an operational flying station, you’ll be expected to wear many hats – training adviser, assessor and consultant.

If you work at one of the RAF’s training schools you’ll fulfil a more specialised role. You could be an instructor or even a training consultant, with responsibility for managing a team of experienced personnel. You’ll design, set up and run training courses for any given branch or trade in the RAF.

Sponsorship

We may be able to invest in your future by funding your studies until you’re ready to join as a Training Officer.

You can apply for a University Air Squadron Bursary, worth up to £6,000, if you’re studying for a degree that has been approved by the RAF. In return for the sponsorship, we ask you to become a member of the University Air Squadron (UAS) and to join the RAF once you finish your studies.

As well as financial support, the sponsorship is an opportunity to get first-hand experience of the challenges you’ll face working with our people, technology and aircraft – and we’ll also give you some free flying experience.

To find out more about sponsorship, contact an RAF Senior Careers Liaison Officer via the careers staff at your school or college – or visit your local Armed Forces Careers Office.
