SLC Part 1

Adult Staff Staff Development
1

Good evening,

I am booked on to SLC Part 1 this month and am wondering if their is anything I can/should do to prepare for this and what, if anything, I’ll need on the day?

Thank you.

I would expect the Joining Instructions offered for the course will give you all in the information you require…

Standard Learning Credits?

CEYorks Wing run it as Staff Leadership Course, an introduction into the process and knowledge required for becoming a uniformed CFAV. It’s designed to help CFAVs decide on which route is best for them.

Bring a notebook and pen(s) and be prepared to get involved in discussions and a couple of other syndicate activities.

Thank you, I thought that might have been all that was required to bring.

We call this a ‘pre uniform course’. Heard it called other things too. Would be good if these things were standardised a bit. If nothing else to save multiple different groups reinventing the wheel over and over again.

Yeah, when I went through going into uniform many, many years ago, it was called Uniformed Staff Course. I guess it boils down to what the current lead staff want to call it.

You’re supposed to be able to join as a direct entry SNCO, so any course that has to be taken as a CI before going into uniform goes against that.

Is it a weekend at anb RAF Station or just a day? when I did my PUSC as a Cdt FS it was just a day at a central (ish) Sqn, but I’ve heard of some that are a Weekend at Cranwell or some other Station?

In general I find staff personal development (barring the nationally organised CIC/UCC etc) so frustratingly inconsistent from wing to wing.

Some wings do it brilliantly (I’ve moved to a wing that does), but I’m sure it’s something that would rather benefit from a little bit of national standardisation across Wgs/Rgns to more of an extent than it is currently.

In my wing, even post COVID, it’s literally just a teams call, about an hour or two.

It briefly covers differences between SNCO and Officer, a quick overview of what to prepare for at filter interview and Regional board, and what to expect at CIC.

The latter part was largely about how not to make a tit out of yourself in the mess…

Same, and the overwhelming feedback was “this could have been a teams call”
