    Anyone know how this works for air corps cadets? The terms and conditions page was quite vague. Asking here because it seems like a silly thing to ask the recruitment team.

    Are cadets free to choose any course they wish or is there a specified list they have to choose from?

    Can cadets enter third level straight after initial training?

    Are cadets free to choose a preferred iot/university or is there again a specified list to choose from?

    While in attendance are they under strict curfews to return to barracks straight after class and the likes?

    Thanks.

    Air Corps cadets aren't sent on to third level education, their pilot training is considered sufficient.

    For the army, after commissioning they can choose any course so long as they are eligible for it under CAO. As far as I know, young officers who are school leavers usually won't go straight into a third level course, they will go to their new units first and then start their university about a year after.

    They are not under strict curfews, they are commissioned officers and will be treated as such but they are also expected to act as such. However, I'd be fairly sure their results will be monitored.
