As well as fostering a spirit of adventure and developing qualities of leadership and good citizenship, the Air Training Corps (ATC) provides training in skills which will be of value in civilian or Service life. For instance the ATC was asked to pioneer, and is still the largest operator of, the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme.

The ATC gives opportunities for young people to go flying in light aircraft, gliding, shooting, adventure training, sports activities, model making, camps and much much more . . . it also provides opportunities for cadets to find out about life in the Royal Air Force.

The Air Training Corps is open to young people from ages 13 to 20. In London, the ATC is divided into four Wings which, between them, number over 90 squadrons and over 4000 Air Cadets!
