Potential Officer Development  


 

Interested in becoming a comissioned officer in the Territorial or Regular Army? The Potential Officer Wing of ULOTC forms part of the London District Regional Training Centre (RTC), which delivers Modules 1-3 and 5 of the new TA Commissioning Course to TA Potential Officers. ULOTC is tasked with Modules 2 and 3. It also prepares OTC members with MTQ2 for RMAS by teaching MTQ3. oc.pod@ulotc.co.uk

Module 2 is provided as a 9-day course twice per year and Module 3/MTQ3 is offered as a 9-day battle camp and also as a four-weekend package. There are also monthly Continuation training weekends in between courses to maintain standards. Further training is provided on Tuesday evenings.

Any TA Officer Cadet may apply for this training and there are normally slots available on all courses. Members of ULOTC who wish to join Cadre should apply to the Adjutant. Members of other TA units should request their own Adjutant to make contact with ULOTC.
