RAPTCI Adventurous Training (ATI)

 
Those who are selected for this role will attend the six month Adventurous Training Instructor (ATI) course in Llanwrst, North Wales, and qualify in a wide range of Adventurous Training (outdoor pursuits) qualifications.

Once qualified you will be employed to deliver Adventurous Training in a variety of units from recruit training establishments to Joint Service Centres spread across the UK and as far flung as Cyprus, Germany, Norway and Canada. In many you will normally work for an RAPTC Warrant Officer, who will assist with your continued professional development.

Once you have attained promotion to Staff Sergeant you will be employed in the Field Army, acting independently as a generalist PTI within a wide range of units, covering every aspect of fitness training in readiness for operational deployments and training for war.

Following promotion to Warrant Officer individuals could return to a number of Senior Instructor posts in any of the centres that have them. Those good enough and selected for Warrant Officer Class 1 can be employed within any of the posts shown for the mainstream PTI. However, they can also be appointed to one of two posts that are for specialist ATIs - one is Chief Instructor of the centre in Canada; the other is Chief Instructor at a centre for recruit training in Sennybridge, South Wales.

Those who demonstrate the aptitude will have an opportunity for a second career as a Late Entry Officer within the RAPTC, or even with another Corps, if vacancies become available.
