ADFA Army Training

Single Service Training (SST)

ADFA Single Service Training is conducted to fill the gap between ADFA Army Officer Cadet (OCDT) training and the entry point into RMC II Class. It is closely aligned with RMC III Class; however, because the continuum is conducted over a three year period, considerable revision periods are allocated to each course. On completion of the SST continuum, OCDT's will have reached the III Class milestone; that is, to be an effective small team leader in a military environment

January - February (SST 2A)
