What is a soldier first course ?

Soup?

Haven't seen the contents menu of an IMP in a long time.

So let me get this straight. First we send new recruits to St Jean for their BOTC. Then they go to one or another of the div trg centre where they get their generic CASFC. By the way, how long is CASFC?

And then where do they go in order to get their occupational training?

Is that still termed Basic Occupational Qualification Training (BOQT) by the way?

22 days, then off to various DP1s

Depends. They could be sent to their units while they wait for an available spot. While waiting they can be employed in non occupational roles.

Thanks

Depends. They could be sent to their units while they wait for an available spot. While waiting they can be employed in non occupational roles.

But is the formal part of the BOQT held at the CTC/Borden or at div trg centres or at units or a combination?

Yes. Back to what we were doing last decade.

And then where do they go in order to get their occupational training?

At a branch school for most occupations. Div TC for Infantry.

Haven't ever seen that term. There was "TQ3" that became "QL3" which became "DP1" and is now "RQ Pte"

It's off the CAF recruiting websites as a generic term for what follows BMQ.

See here for example about half way down the page under the heading "Training"
