RANK STRUCTURE
As an organisation which reflects military disciplines, the Air Training Corps is organised by a rank structure. As a cadet becomes more experienced, and if suitable, they may be promoted by their Squadron's Commanding Officer (CO) to the status of Cadet NCOs.
Promotion to the ranks of Corporal, Sergeant, Flight Sergeant and Cadet Warrant Officer is at the discretion of the Commanding Officer. They (or a representative) will make a decision based on merit and leadership potential - many squadrons have formal selection procedures, whilst others select by observing potential during normal training. Promotion to Cadet Warrant Officer is decided by a panel at Wing level. Prospective candidates will be a Flight Sergeant, preferably holding the Instructor Cadet classification and will be required to attend an interview with the Wing Commander or their representative.
Ranks can be identified through the slides worn on the shoulders, as part of the uniform. The slides are shown below.
