He did mention that, but when I asked about re-writing my CFAT, he laughed and said, "Don't worry about it."

I wonder how much weight it actually has in the competition
 
I was told that the CFAT is one-third of the score, the personality inventory is one-third of the score, and the remainder is comprised of job knowledge/experience, leadership training/experience, and university credits (and how they apply to the ideal degree for the trade).  I'm sure that when it comes down to the final decision, it may not be quite as black-and-white as just looking at the score, but that's what I was told about how the process works.

When I switched, I was told the same percentages for the PSO score, but that the CO's recommendation counted for about 40%.  So those thirds may only account for 60% of the total weight when the boards sit.
 
Man this is killing me.  When I was asked back in February if I had any news yet I used to say I wasn't expecting anything before end of June, beginning of July but deep inside I thought it was going to be earlier than that !  Something struck me yesterday, what about those who are posted/moved to a different city to study.  When are they going to know or if that was the first batch of messages we saw end-April ?
 
Man the wait is killing me.  Just as question, what about those who are posted/moved to a different city to study.  When are they going to know or if that was the first batch of messages we saw end-April ?  What about noncompliance messages ?

Hey Buddy,

I talked to the PSO this week. I hate to tell you but according to him if you haven't seen a message by now you are probably not selected. Looks like non-selections went out in late July last year. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...

Sorry guys, I just got an answer back from DMCPG:
"I am sorry to say that all the offer messages have been sent out and members have accepted. We had to send out the posting messages before July 1st and now we are doing the non-selection messages. They will be sent out shortly."
Better luck next year I guess.
 
It seems that the non-selection messages are starting to arrive. Sorry to all those that didn't make it this year.
 
I was appointed to OCdt on the 1st of July, and will be doing OJT at RMC until the 15th of Aug. After Aug 15th it's off to Ottawa to clear in to ULO, leave, and finally to start my engineering program at Carleton on the 3rd of Sept. It's been a very long road to reach this point, but for those that didn't make it, or for future first time applicants, the process is doable. I found the one thing that helped me to achieve success was to research everthing possible about the UTPNCM process, as well as my trades of interest. As for the CFAT, there is not much that can be done. You are really only allowed a couple of attempts, and if you can't score high enough after taking the required amount of university courses for the UT program, you probally won't make it any way. Sorry to put down anybody, but after talking to plenty of PSO's over the years, most people that apply to the UT program normally score about average on the CFAT, and likely achieve the minimum amount required for their trades of interest. The only exceptions are normally the extra aptitude tests required for trades such as ACSO or Pilot. For those trades you really can't study enough to survive the physical and mental challenges that flying requires; you either have it or you don't. Personally I think you are more likely to achieve success in this program by both taking several University level courses, covering a wide breath of topics, and as many leadership based courses as you can possible be loaded on. As for OPME's, I haven't taken a single one, and from what I've seen they are a complete waste of time, unless your planning on going to RMC to study. As for those that have applied several times over the years, I would suggest changing your trades of choice, as the majority of applicants apply for Log O, PSO, and the least likely routes to success MPO and Int O. As for Pilot, the majority of applicants that make it into this trade fail out of pilot training after they complete their degrees. This means that if you don't have a degree such as engineering to fall back on, you better get comfortable with trades such as Infantry. I'm not making this up, I'm in the Air Force, I've seen plenty of Pilot candidates fail out of the program. Finally for candidates interested in IntO or MPO, unless you originated in either Int OP or MP before applying, the PSO interview phase is probably going to go miserably. Really there are plenty of UT applicants applying for these two trades that come from the NCM equivalent trades. This means that they have job related experience, which easily carries over into the equivalent officer trades. You would be surprised by how much that single fact sways the selection board. At last my rant comes to an end, hopefully this will help someone in the future.
 
Good day everyone,

I just had a few questions pertaining to the "NCM to Officer" transition.

I have been in the Canadian Forces for a little over four years now, I'm only twenty-four, so I'm still quite young, eager and exploring opportunities available to me in the CF. I am interested in eventually transitioning over from an "NCM" to an Officer, although, I recently heard that there have been several changes to some of the programs such as "UTP-NCM", as well what you can and can't be endorsed for when you submit an "ILP".

At the moment, I am working as aircrew and I love every aspect of working on an operational aircraft. My ultimate goal would be to have a "MOC" transfer over to Pilot, so what are my best options at this point?

I was talking to a Pilot from my SQN, he does not have a Bachelor degree, although he is a fully-functional, working Pilot, flying on a day-to-day basis. From what I understood, he was taking some sort of program called "CEOTP"? He apparently has twelve years to attain a Bachelor degree, but he will be reimbursed by the CF upon successful completion. He must complete the degree on his own time too.

Are there programs that can only be taken if you're a civilian signing on into the Military? Such as: ROTP, CEOTP? Or are all of those programs and more offered to NCMs as well?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Message is out.  See CANFORGEN 138/13 for details.
 
Can you or someone post some of the details so I can get the broad idea of it. University courses are something I want to pursue this time around. I should be back in the army any day now, though they've been saying that for awhile now.

Hi all
I am applying for a UTPNCM. The problem is, that I only want to get into one trade, and this is because of the university program that I am taking.
No other MOSIDs accepts my study, only the INTO, INFO, ARTY, and ARMD
None of those appeal to me, except for the INTO.
Can I only put in my application the INTO?
Can I turn down other MOSIDs if I was offered any?

Thank you
 
I would suggest you research more.

Yes, can only make one choice if that is all you want.  (INT O would not be a good choice if that is the only one you want to make.)

Yes, you can turn down an offer.

It's that time of year again. UTPNCM competition messages are out, applications are going in. This is a good forum to share your thoughts, news and plans relating to the program. Personally, I plan on submitting an application for AERE & PSEL (with Concordia as my preferred university). Good luck to all with your applications.
