ROTP & CEOTP

[cftoronto]

This site has provided a lot of info, but I can't find any real answers to a couple of questions.....

I'm trying to decide on whether to apply for ROTP and CEOTP and have a few questions that I couldn't find in any forums, despite an exhaustive search...... I just finished one year at a community college taking university level courses(don't have grade 12 U high school credits).  My plan is to use the university  transfer credits and apply to a civilian university. Are transferable college credits or college transcripts sufficient enough for acceptance into ROTP or CEOTP??

Also, I plan on applying for Infantry officer or Artillery Officer, and am curious when the training is conducted for ROTP and CEOTP.  Is it duing the summer months, or does it depend on what entry plan you fall under? Also, at the Canadian forces recruiting website, it says that the pay for ROTP officer cadets is around $1,300/mth plus subsidization for education with a eight or nine year committment. Is that the same for CEOTP as well? 

Is there any one here who is in the application process that can help out?

For CEOTP you need your Gr 12 with sufficient marks in certain subjects.  For ROTP you will need to have already been accepted into university and have some academic results.  The training for ROTP is in the summer and the training for CEOTP is when it is available. For CEOTP, the pay information has been discussed here before but you will be paid, lowly, as an Officer Cadet until you complete your occupation training and are promoted.  Go see your CFRC/D.

In regards to the CEOTP:

Which subjects specifically and how high of a mark?

What about equivalent experience?  I've worked in the IT field for 8 years without any kind of post secondary education, but have certifications in a multitude of areas.  Would equivalent experience be reviewed as well as high school marks, or would it be entirely based on my high school marks?

All the course needed to complete High School for the province you were schooled and better than 60% average (confirm with the CFRC/D) in those courses.  Particularly the maths and sciences.  Your work experience will be considered as part of the interview process.

There have been some recent changes to the education requirements for CEOTP.  GED, HS incomplete w/college courses, HS incomlete with univ. courses etc etc.  I don't have it all in front of me at the moment.  Best advice is what Kincanucks said.  Contact the local CFRC/D.  This just came out this week so there is some ironing out to be made.
