It generally takes at least 2 years to get from the BMQ/SQ level to a QL3 trades soldier. If you get course loaded on a summer basic, you’re looking at about 2 months for training… if you are lucky, you can go straight to the QL3 immediately following your graduation. This is rare, since the courses will more than likely overlap each other.

One benefit to doing the weekend basic is that the course runs during the normal Reserve training year, which means that you could be course loaded that same summer, given that you have completed the basic training first.

I have experience recruiting for my res unit (comms) and we are just now starting to go the weekend basic route vice the full time summer route. Weeken basic also appeals to those potential recruits who have full time jobs and can’t really commit to 2 months off in the summer. But this doesn’t resolve the QL3 trg in the summer, which will still have to be done at the military school of (insert trade here).

Any questions, just ask! Hope this helps.

Are their any benefits in the summer training compared to the part time training?

They had mentioned to me the training would be one night a week and weekends every two weeks.

If I go the “part time” route, to be a qualified gunner will take forever, I’m turning 30 next week, which adds another 30 seconds for the 2.4km run.

Any input would be appreciated.
