Thanks for the clarification. Anyone know anything about the course, especially how it differs from the regular BMQ
Well from the Recruiting site:
Phase I. Basic Officer Training
Upon selection into the Chaplaincy, you will enrol in the Canadian Forces and be commissioned as a Captain/Lieutenant (N). Candidates must complete the Chaplain's Basic Officer Training Course (Ch BOTC) conducted during the fall at the Canadian Forces Chaplain School and Center (CFChSC) in Borden, Ontario. The Ch BOTC is offered in either English or French. During these thirteen weeks of training, you will become familiar with life in the Canadian Forces and the Chaplaincy. You will learn basic leadership skills, military regulations and customs and you will acquire the fundamental military skills of drill, dress and deportment as well as training in crisis counseling, ministering to casualties of critical incidents, and first aid. You will also participate in physical training and sports programs. Successful completion is a prerequisite for continued employment and further training.
And since you are bound to ask about further training,
Phase II. Professional Training
The mandatory training in this phase includes Peacekeeping and Humanitarian Operations, Suicide Interventions and language training. Successful completion of all courses, including the Chaplain's intermediate course, is necessary for promotion to Major/Lieutenant Commander (N) and is a pre-requisite for senior leadership within the chaplaincy.
Team Building, 1 week, Conducted by CFChSC
Ethics, 2 weeks, Conducted by CFChSC
Suicide Intervention, 3 to 5 days, Out-service training offered through Medical Branch
Intermediate Chaplain's course, 3 weeks, Conducted by CFChSC
Peacekeeping, 8 days, Conducted by CFChSC. Required only by those seeking employment on Peacekeeping Missions
I wonder why?
