Title: CPPT help
Post by: C/Cool on April 15, 2015, 09:36:35 PM
Hey guys,
So I asked my squadron staff about taking the CPPT and they don't know about the new curriculum. Do I need to take it before I turn 18 or do I have six months to complete it?

Thanks a lot

The answers you seek can be found here: http://www.capmembers.com/cadet_programs/cadet_protection/ (http://www.capmembers.com/cadet_programs/cadet_protection/)

You can take the Cadet Protection Basic Course when you're 17, and for convenience you should have it completed before you turn 18.

Thanks for that reference.

Does this mean I can take it after sometime? Because I turn 18 before I will see my squadron staff again to complete the training.

Thanks for all the help!

You can take it when you are  17 but must complete it at 18 or no more promotions.

Go ahead and take the web course now,
you can complete the summary conversation next time you see your squadron staff (potentially by phone even, if you live far away or something).

You need to already have the web course done, so that your squadron staff can credit you in e-services for the summary conversation once you actually have it.

Okay, thanks guys! I was just checking to make sure I wouldn't be demoted for not having it done. ::)

That is what I needed to know.

You have 6 months after turning 18 to complete the course, including the summary conversation.

Not sure why you think you'd be demoted....
