Eastern Area Leadership Training.

The bespoke training course, designed to bolster and support leadership training back at individual Sections, covers a wide range of subjects including the basics of leadership theory, planning, ground navigation, leadership at night and public speaking.

OC EALTT, Flt Lt Dominic Surry from Trent College CCF (RAF ), who devised the course, said: “The courses were designed to start a leadership journey from an earlier age, as soon as a cadet is eligible to attend camp. The courses progressively build towards the Air Cadet Leadership Course and include additional time to train, to absorb and to practice.”
