Welcome to 1189 (Portsmouth) Squadron Air Training Corps

As you may be aware, the Air Training Corps is a national uniformed youth organisation parented and supported by the Royal Air Force; although cadets are under no obligation to join the Armed Forces. The aims of the ATC are to:

• To promote and encourage among young people a practical interest in aviation and the Royal Air Force.
• To provide training which will be useful in the Services and in civilian life.
• To foster the spirit of adventure and develop the qualities of leadership and good citizenship.

Cadets are able to join from the age of 13 and may remain in the ATC until the age of 20. They will have the opportunity to take part in a huge number of character and life skill developing activities such as flying and gliding training, expeditions and camping, shooting and much more.

Cadets can also gain nationally recognised awards and qualifications such as The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and Level 2 BTEC First Diplomas.

The ATC is a unique organisation, offering unique opportunities with unique volunteers. The best bit is that YOU can become a part of it. Are you up for the challenge?
