Hello all,
I've received varying information on this board, from recruiters, and from soldiers on the length of their mandatory courses. It is apparent to me that the lengths vary from year to year, so it's hard to answer. Here's my current understanding of my (possible) mandatory training as things stand:
BMQ/BMOQ - 4 weeks full-time or alternating weekends part-time for 6 months
BMOQ-L - 10 weeks full-time. Currently, it is not offered in modules (i.e., must be completed all at once)
BEOC (Basic Engineer Officer Course) - 14 weeks
So, if this is true, why do I see variable lengths for BMOQ on the CFLRS webpage:
http://www.forces.gc.ca/en/training-establishments/recruit-school.page
Some BMOQ courses (Platoon Numbers starting with Q), are 2 months. Others (Platoon Numbers starting with L), are 3 months. The fact that they're all at least 2 months makes me thing that these are Phase 2 (BMOQ-L) courses. Then why the difference in duration?
