aaronrogers said:I asked my recruiter this exact question and he had no idea, but after some searching around the forums I found that in fact basic training has had a 2 week or so break in the past for christmas holidays. I am just guessing thats what they are planning on doing again, but dont quote me on it, Im just guessing.
aaronrogers said:Well Im just saying that their probably will be courses running through the christmas break and probably dont have a cut off time or anything is all.
Just the info I found from searching.
BC Old Guy said:BMQ will be loaded into Nov. The numbers of courses starting increase in Sep and Oct, so you see a lot of people being enrolled or given their offers now. As the season gets closer to Christmas, there are fewer courses started. The next surge is in January, and keeps going until March, when there is a slight pause.
BC Old Guy said:In addition to my last post, I've looked up the actual dates. The last courses before Christmas start 3 Dec, the firsts courses after Christmas start 7 Jan.
For marie1987 - Most course vacancies for Sep are now full. Depending on when your file is Merit Listed, there may be a chance for a Sep course, however its more likely to be an Oct course. How much notice you get depends on how many courses are scheduled and how many people are completing the process. In mid-April the earliest course we could load was in July, so those loaded got 2 to 2 1/2 months notice. Last Jan/Feb we had some people who were given offers on Monday for enrolment Thursday, and travel Saturday. Remember its an offer - and up to you to accept if you agree to what is being offered.
