Armed Forces: Training
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 24 November to Question 92321 on Armed Forces: Training, if he will list all other definitions of training outside of Phase 1 and Phase 2.
Answered by Al Carns
The British Army, Royal Air Force, and Royal Navy conduct two categories of training. These are Collective Training, and Individual Training.
Collective Training is any training activity focussed on the collective performance of two or more people working together that improves the ability of a team, large or small, to work together in order to generate the forces required for operations, and is collective only when the team as a whole is assessed on its collective performance.
Individual Training is training designed to develop a mix of Knowledge, Skills, Experience and Behaviours of individuals. Individual Training can take multiple forms and, excluding Phases 1 & 2, is set out below:
- Phase 0 Training
- Phase 3 Training
- Individual Training
- Pre-employment Training
- Present, Apply, Review (PAR) Training
- Care of Trainee (COT) Training
- Deployed Collective Trainer Training
- Distributed Training
- First of Class Training
- Interim Training
- Steady State Training
- Formal Training
- Joint Training
- Live Training
- Modular Training
- Remedial Training
- Robust Training
Joint Service Publication 822 provides additional information on training and can be found on the gov.uk website.
