Welcome from the Captain of the Navy Training Corps

I would like to welcome you to the National Website of the Navy Training Corps.

I hope you will enjoy your visit and that you will also find this informative and up to date.

The website, like the Corps itself, is fairly new and will expand as we add more Units throughout the UK. We have now established ourselves in several towns and cities and we now aim to start more Units throughout the UK, especially where there is no Naval Youth Training Group available.

To achieve this aim we need people who are willing to become Uniformed or Civilian Members of Staff. We also need those who are willing to form a Committee and whose task is to help raise the funds needed to keep a Unit running. Both those roles needn’t be an arduous task and, in many cases, can be very enjoyable. All people joining us will have to be CRB cleared and this is done through the Corps and costs the individual nothing. Training will be given by experienced Instructors and fitted in to suit each individuals family commitments. Details of Training Courses can be viewed on our courses page, as can qualifications that can be gained. If you have any Cadet experience before it will be useful, but if you haven’t we can train you.

As an Independent Youth Organisation and a Registered Charity, we have to raise every penny needed to keep the Corps afloat. One advantage of being Independent is we can channel all of the money we raise for the benefit of the Cadets; no money is spent on a full time Headquarters or paid Staff. Everyone from top to bottom is a volunteer and our Headquarters Staff can be readily contacted in the evening or weekend, which is when Units meet and need information, help or guidance. Cadets can also start at eight years of age.

Thank you for taking the time to read this introduction, and for finding out more about the Navy Training Corps. Our motto is Porro Iunctus or Forward United, so why not think about joining us. Please use the contact page to leave a message and we will get back to you.
