The aim for Cadet Level 1B is to compliment and build upon Level 1A, providing the core skills to enable participation as a cadet safely and effectively in AAC activities. Levels 1A and 1B consist only of Core Training. Cadet Developmental Continuum ELIGIBILITY The Cadet has completed Level 1A. CONDUCT Cadet Level 1B will typically require approximately 40 hours of instruction in local choice of format (2 hour nights, 3 hour nights, weekends, etc.) with a recommended minimum of two overnight activities. Lesson timings are suggested but time allocation can be varied at local discretion. No lessons are to be deleted from Cadet Level 1B; however, additional material may be included at the discretion of the Unit Commander. Cadet Activity Package uncontrolled if printed CDT‐C1B‐17 CADET LEVEL 1B 4 The timetabling and location of lessons are local decisions. An example of a lesson sequence is available at the end of this package. Cadet Level 1B requires a high standard of instruction to ensure the cadet maintains a positive attitude towards their further participation in the AAC. Theory lesson lengths are designed for 30 minute periods. Nonetheless, the importance of conveying the information and engaging with the cadets are the priorities. The aim is to be flexible in delivery methods and confirming the skills and knowledge have been gained. INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNIQUES This CAP is the source of WHAT to teach.
