Classifications and Promotions

Classifications

The Air Cadets offers a BTEC in Aviation Studies. This BTEC stems the core of cadet activities. As cadets complete certain subjects they move up classifications which can be seen below starting with First Class. Each classification comes with a different badge which cadets will put on their brassards and shows to anyone that looks at them how experienced they are!
