WHAT WE DO

We complete activities, alongside defence partners, to meet the high demand for trained military personnel and to fulfil the UK National Security Objectives of:

  • Protect our people
  • Project our global influence
  • Promote our prosperity

Defence courses provide our international partners with the highest standard of training in military policy, doctrine, and values; building essential skills to deliver RAF capabilities with our allies.

The wide range of RAF and Joint establishments across the UK deliver the highest standard of military skills and imparting knowledge to train personnel in air and ground capabilities. There are also several Joint training schools delivering training to Army and Royal Navy personnel, alongside RAF personnel.

Elements of the RAF’s training capacity are available to international students and to civilian contractors who share our military aims and objectives.  International sponsors who want to send their personnel on courses delivered by the RAF should first contact their in-country UK Defence Attache.
