RAF Reserves Service Instructors

Yes it does, thanks. Albeit we can already do this and an SI only needs to provide proof of their competency (DLE Certificate or otherwise) and that can be added to Bader relatively easily. Mapping automatically from DLE to Bader and JPA etc would be nice, but suspect that as this effects a relatively few people in the great scheme of things, this won’t be a high priority for the development list. But a list of comparable quals and their period of validity, would be extremely useful.

There needs a proper mapping of DLE training across the Bader Learn training!

At present it’s difficult and there is no consistent approach to how DLE is recorded on SMS.

So, there’s some good news.

Well, everything is relative!

The version 23.1 of ACP 20 I was using from BADER SharePoint read that Service Instructor (SI) had “replaced” our JSP 814 Service Helper (SH). However version 24.0 published on 28 August 2024 now reads that SIs were “previously” SHs.

Of course, that subtle change is lost forever because BADER SharePoint only retains Major versions ie version X.0. So, I guess someone was paying attention after all. My offer of help - which still stands - hasn’t attracted interest. Yet.

As they say in the vicinity of 723 Sqn, but suitably corrected for EDI purposes, it’s not over until the ample physique binary gender person capable of childbirth sings :hugs:

@Dacre1987 further to my comment about 2-year IRT competences, I have recently noticed that my ‘annual’ fire training lasts for 2 years on JPA, but volunteer portal claims it expires one year from the completion date.

I won’t be attending fire training again until the 2-year point, as it necessitates a visit to my parent station (as opposed to my normal duty station) which I only do for full IRT weekends.
