ARMY CADETS SYLLABUS

Army Proficiency Certificate (APC)

As a young person within the Army Cadet Force, there are a huge range of qualifications and experiences that you can gain with the APC Syllabus.

During your time in the Army Cadets you will follow a syllabus called the APC, which becomes more challenging each year. As you learn more about each topic and get better at it, you rise through the levels until you reach Four Star or Master Cadet level. Subjects include: Cadet and the Community, Drill and Turnout, Expeditions, Fieldcraft, First Aid, Military Knowledge, Navigation, Skill At Arms, Shooting, Signals, Physical Achievement, and Cadet Force Instructional Technique (CFIT)

For those with an interest in music the Devon ACF Corps of Drums is a fantastic opportunity to get involved with the APC Music Syllabus, and gain BTEC Qualifications in Music through the Army Cadets.

The Ten Tors Challenge is an annual challenge to the teenagers of the South West of England from the Army's Headquarters South West, and the event takes place around Easter each year on Dartmoor.

Teams of young people work together to complete the challenge and walk distances of 35, 45, and 55 miles, over the course of around 1.5 days.

Cadets from Devon ACF take part in this life-changing experience every year, learning not only navigation skills but commitment and determination.

Our County HQ is based at Pellew House, Exeter, and also serves as Devon ACF's own Weekend Training Centre (WETC).

With training facilities such as classrooms and outdoor space, as well as catering facilities and accommodation, a wide variety of ACF Training (both military and non-military) is conducted at Pellew House.
