Cadets can expect eight to fifteen flights total while spending five hours each day on the flight line. The program assumes that cadets have no previous flight experience. Daily physical training and formation runs are conducted in hot and humid conditions. Upon successful completion, cadets are awarded a basic parachutist rating. Orientation rides in other RAF aircraft may also be available.
Cadets take classes in a foreign university while living with a local family or in a dorm.
Cadets will receive a complete language and cultural immersion. NOP cadets will receive hands-on training and practical knowledge as an Air Force nurse. Training is conducted at a variety of locations worldwide. The beginning of the program is an orientation of the activities that make up the mission of the hosting base. Cadets are then matched to a junior officer, ideally in their chosen career field, to observe and work together for the remainder of the program.
