Raf brtc 2021

I just had a call from my local AFCO yesterday giving me a potential start date for January 2021 (just awaiting confirmation this week) just wondered if anyone else here has been given January too? Feel free to pm me 😁

What role is this for? I've only recently passed my fitness so imagine i will have a longer wait. Hopefully your confirmation arrives soon and all the best with your training

Hi, I applied for RAF police, I did my fitness test mid September. So Hopefully won’t be too long of a wait for you! My confirmation just came through so fingers crossed all goes well 😁

Is that a start date for BRTC or phase 2? Before my fitness my recruiter informed me the next available slot for my trade was July i was unsure if this meant i would start BRTC then or it was Phase 2 and it would work backwards to 10 weeks before that?

I haven’t heard anything, but I suspect Covid will be having an effect on how quickly things are moving.

I am keeping to my fitness routine and keeping busy. They will contact me when they can progress my application.

Yeah definitely I wish it would hurry up I don’t get how the navy and army are still doing fitness tests but the RAF isnt
Anyone starting in March...what’s your start date? I’m March too for RAF Police. :smile:

My best answer would be to ask your Afco. When you sat the ast, did it tell you roughly which intake you’ll be? It has to link up with your phase 2 training, so everyone will be different. Plus they stop booking on 2 weeks before the course is due to start. So really couldn’t tell you. I suppose quicker you get all the boxes ticked, then quicker you can get out into the pile to get a course place.
Ah right that’s how it works, and no they didn’t give me a start date on my BRTC when I passed the AST every other trade had one except mine for some reason, what do I ask my AFCO?
