Expand your horizons - join the Air Cadet Organization

With nearly 1000 units in the UK and Squadrons in Germany, Gibraltar and Cyprus you are likely to be closer to the Air Cadets than you think - check out our interactive map.

The ATC is not just looking for cadets, we also have vacancies for adult staff to help run and organise squadron activities. You can do this as either a Civilian Instructor, Adult Warrant Officer or as a Volunteer Reserve Officer - VR(T).

CALLING ALL ADULT VOLUNTEERS
Seeking a new challenge? Our organization needs high calibre adult volunteers to run its activities. If you want an extra challenge and wish to use and develop your leadership skills - and gain qualifications into the bargain - check out our adult recruitment section or click on the poster above for information.	QUICK FACTS: You do not need to have been a cadet or a member of any armed forces to join. You need to be a minimum of 20 years of age to be an adult volunteer but there is no upper age limit as a civilian instructor, although uniformed officers retire at 55. While you will not be paid you will be provided with all the necessary equipment for your roles, including special clothing and uniform. The real benefit comes from the opportunity to experience many activities and training for free. All staff within the ACO, whether uniformed or not, are subject to in depth Police and Security checks prior to joining a Squadron or taking part in Corps activities.
