Discover the Traditions and Skills of the Senior Service

Royal Naval Cadet Training is at the heart of the Royal Naval Volunteer Cadet Corps, introducing young people to the traditions, values and skills of the Royal Navy through exciting, hands-on experiences.

Cadets follow a progressive training programme covering seamanship, navigation, ropework, signalling, maritime knowledge and naval history, while developing leadership, confidence and teamwork. Training is practical, engaging and designed to challenge cadets while helping them build skills for life.

Alongside naval training, cadets take part in boating and afloat activities, first aid, adventure training, drill and ceremonial, STEM, fieldcraft and community projects. Visits to Royal Navy establishments and ships provide unique opportunities to experience the Senior Service first-hand.

Every activity is designed to develop resilience, responsibility and character, empowering cadets to grow in confidence, make lasting friendships and embrace new challenges.
