Chapter 11 CADET INSTRUCTORS CADRES SECTION 1. CCF METHODS OF INSTRUCTION CADRE Aim 1101. The aim of the cadre is to enable Cadet NCOs to further their leadership training by learning the skills of how to instruct junior cadets in military subjects. Qualifications 1102. In accordance with the CCF Continuation Training Syllabus, to be selected for the Cadre, Cadet NCOs must have passed all tests in the APC (CCF Army Sections) and they must be suitable in all respects and willing to be instructors. 1103. To qualify in this subject for the award of his Advanced APC the Cadet NCO must obtain an average or above average report (assessment will be continuous throughout the cadre and will be based on knowledge and the ability to instruct). He is also required to instruct to a satisfactory standard for a minimum of one term on two out of the four following basic APC subjects; Drill, Skill at Arms, Use of Map and Compass and Fieldcraft. The Place of the Cadre in the CCF Training Syllabus 1104. The cadre is normally part of the Advanced APC Syllabus, but in those contingents where no Continuation Training is undertaken Cadet NCOs who have successfully qualified in the APC, and are selected to undertake the cadre, may complete it in parallel with other cadets still undergoing their APC training. 1105. The Cadet Training Team is responsible for conducting the cadre as mutually arranged within the Army Section training programme. Cadre Syllabus 1106. The cadre syllabus consists of four periods on the study of the Technique of Instruction as given in Volume II, Chapter 1 and 8 periods of teaching practice on the basic APC subjects, Drill, Skill at Arms, Use of Map and Compass and Fieldcraft. 1107.

SECTION 2. ACF JUNIOR CADET INSTRUCTORS CADRE (JCIC) Aim 1108. JCIC has two purposes. Firstly to initiate the senior cadet into the Technique of Instruction, as given in Volume II, Chapter 1, and secondly to assess the cadet s ability as a potential instructor, with particular reference to his possible subsequent selection to undertake the Senior Cadet Instructors Cadre at 4-Star level. Subjects 1109. The JCIC is an integral part of 3-Star training and all cadets at this level take the course, which is designed to teach the Senior Cadet how to instruct up to and including 1-Star level in the following subjects: Drill, Turnout and Military Knowledge Skill at Arms Use of Map and Compass Fieldcraft Responsibility for JCIC 1110. The JCIC is the responsibility of the County ACF, with the assistance, when necessary, and when available, of the Cadet Training Team. Testing 1111. There will be no formal testing at this level, and no Pass or Fail will be awarded. A cadet who shows little or no aptitude as a potential instructor will not thereby be debarred from achieving 3-Star level. However the cadet will be assessed throughout the course and a report written on his ability as a potential instructor at the end of it. This assessment could influence the cadet s choice of subject it he continues training at 4-Star level, in particular his selection for the Senior Cadet Instructors Cadre. 1112. Reserved. 11-2
SECTION 3. ACF SENIOR CADET INSTRUCTORS CADRE (SCIC) Aim 1113. The SCIC is a 4-Star optional subject designed to increase the cadet s knowledge of the Technique of Instruction which he was first introduced to on the JCIC, and to give him early experience of the art of leadership. Selection for SCIC 1114. Senior Cadet NCOs selected to attend the cadre must have a sound knowledge of all subjects up to and including 3-Star level, and they must have proved, by their performance on the JCIC, that they are potential instructors. Subjects 1115. Students on the SCIC will be taught how to instruct up to and including 2-Star standard in the following subjects: Drill, Turnout and Military Knowledge Skill at Arms Use of Map and Compass Fieldcraft 1116. Teaching practice in the subjects listed in paragraph 1115 above, which are largely skills, will be in the form of the Lesson, the Demonstration or the Exercise as defined in Volume II Chapter 1 Section 4. Responsibility for SCIC 1117. The responsibility for organizing, instructing and testing on the SCIC will be that of the Cadet Training Team, assisted as appropriate by ACF instructors. 11-3
