  • CASPOA also provides Higher Education students and young English teachers who work in Linguistic Centres on national Air Force Bases, with basic air operations education, namely the ETC course.
    This kind of course will be delivered to Air Force legal advisors as well and will be titled IOA in French. It is meant to be an initiation to air operations. It will be composed of a two-day common syllabus followed by one day about operational terminology dedicated to English Teachers and one day about legal aspects dedicated to LEGAD.

 

These courses are mainly delivered in the English language, whatever the attendees’ nationality. However, some specific courses are addressed in the French language when the audience includes only French personnel.


As regards foreign military attendees, following points are to be taken into account:
Owing to the classification of some courses support documents, including the equipment used for practical parts, trainees are split into NATO and Non-NATO (RI) nations. When reference documentation is NATO, releasable to PfP, which is the case for Q2 courses, PfP personnel can attend a NATO course, depending on the level of expertise of their country in terms of Air C2.

Therefore, in order to best adapt courses to the audience, attendees Identity (nationality, rank, position and trade, career background) are to be sent as soon as possible in the PAF (Personal Administration Form) sent back in response to the Registration Request Form filled by the trainee.
