The New Zealand Cadet Forces offers a comprehensive NZQA accredited training program that delivers 5 years of dedicated training to our cadet members.
This training is structured into three years of dedicated classroom / field based learning years and two years of theory based training in real world situations.
In total cadets will be given training on topics covering Leadership, Instructional Techniques, Coaching and Mentoring, Drill, Physical Training, Fieldcraft and Bushcraft, Navigation Skills, and many others including running activities and camps.
Our training is primarily orientated around real world application. Cadets will lead teams to confirm their leadership, they will teach lessons to other cadets to confirm their instructional technique and they will spend time in the bush to confirm fieldcraft/bushcraft and navigation skills.
This method of training is closely aligned to that of the New Zealand Defence Force and we are seen as a great stepping stone for those interested in a Defence Career.
