Hey guys,
Idk if this has been asked before or not, so sorry if it has but my top three career choices in the military are Pilot, Engineer Officer and Signals Officer. I wanna know what degrees i need for each of these occupations cuz i cant find it anywhere on the website anymore. Plz try to be as specific as possible with the degrees, like for example, to be an engineer officer u need an engineering degree, but what type of engineering degree (civil, aerospace, etc).
Thx for helpin me out!
1. For Pilot - http://forces.ca/en/job/pilot-32#education-3
CEOTP - PILOT
If you have a high school diploma from a school recognized by a Canadian provincial or territorial education ministry, you may be eligible for the Forces’ combined degree and pilot training program. This unique training program enables Officer Cadets to obtain a Bachelor of Aviation Technology and Pilot’s Wings over a four-year period, as opposed to earning a four-year degree prior to starting pilot training. In the first year of this program, candidates will complete Basic Military Officer Training, followed by Phase 1 Military Flying Training. In their second year, successful candidates will move into the academic phase at Seneca College in Toronto, Ontario. During the remaining two years of this program, candidates will complete their military flying training and the remainder of their studies at Seneca College. Graduates of this program are required to serve seven years as a Pilot with the Forces.
In addition to having your high school diploma or Sec V in Québec, you must also have achieved or be on your way to achieving high school academic level credits with minimum 65% average in:
English (ENG4(U))
Mathematics: Calculus and Vectors (MCV4(U), or Que 536)
Mathematics: Advanced Functions (MHF4(U))
Physics (SPH4(U))
One additional science course/credit
2. Engineer Officer - http://forces.ca/en/job/engineerofficer-21#education-3
Because this position requires a university degree, the Forces will pay successful recruits to complete a Bachelor degree program at a Canadian university. They receive full-time salary including medical and dental care, as well as vacation time with full-pay in exchange for working with the Forces for a period of time. Typically, candidates enter the Canadian Military College System as an Officer Cadet where they study subjects relevant to both their military and academic career. In some instances, the Forces is able to pay for Officer Cadets to attend other Canadian universities in a relevant degree program. Officer Cadets who attend other Canadian universities typically attend university during the regular academic year and participate in additional military training during the summer months. If you choose to apply to this program, you must apply both to the Forces and the Canadian university of your choice. For more information, click on Paid University.
