Skill Level 2 Training Plan

The training plan is based on 12 exercises to acquire the necessary skills as a Non Commissioned Officer of the DCT. In theory, training begins in January with period 1, and concludes in December with period 12. This allows for indoor training during periods of cold weather, and less strenous training during the hottest part of the year.
