EDUCATIONAL CREDITS
The Air Cadet League was successful in implementing a program for the British Columbia Cadets whereby certain courses within the Cadet program will qualify for Educational Credits. These credits allow cadets to reduce the number of classes they must take in school, which in turn allows them to focus on their remaining studies and responsibilities within their squadron.
The Minister of Education approved a revision to the Graduation Credits Order to include credits for training received in Cadets. Cadets may obtain up to twelve (12) credits towards Secondary School graduation:
- Four (4) credits may be obtained at Grade 10 by successfully completing Level Three or a three-week Basic Specialty Training Course;
- Four (4) credits may be obtained at Grade 11 by successfully completing Level Four or an Advanced Specialty Training Course. Employment as a Staff Cadet may be used as an alternative to a summer training course; and
- Four (4) credits may be earned at Grade 12 for successfully completing Level Five or an Advanced Specialty Training Course. Employment as a Staff Cadet may be used as an alternative to a summer training course.
Please check with your Squadron Training Officer for qualifying courses.
