In 2005, the PRES Sup Tech course was 5 weeks. It is now 12 weeks which works out well if you are a student. I am 34 yrs. old and it has been very difficult to get that time off from work. Is this the future of the Sup Tech ql3 courses? I don't want to quit the Army but there may be no other alternative if the ql3 courses stay this length. Any feed back?

The closest unit to where I live is an Engineer Unit. I cannot be a Combat Engineer because I am colour blind and my only other option is Sup Tech. No disrespect to the clerks but that just isn't for me. The closest cities to where I live is Kelowna or Calgary, both are about 5 hours from here. It was been awesome being with the Chimo's but it looks like I can no longer persue the Army dream
55 days is probably correct, that is 55 training days which does not include the weekends. I began my ql3 last year and then asked for an RTU after 3 weeks due to personal problems at home and the course. I have been searching myself, let me know what you come up with.

Perhaps they'll be giving you OJT at the Unit after your SQ while you await a QL3s... that makes sense. But OJT does not a QL3 qualification make.
PRes QL3 Sup Tech trades qualification is running in LFAA right now in LFAA TC Det Aldershot.

Mysteriousmind just finished one I believe. He'd be the most up to date on the PRes Sup Course duration.
I only think that I know what it's length is, but I'm not certain. I can confirm for you tomorrow though by sending an email off to one of the instructors I know who's teaching on the current LFAA TC course.

Actually I have not done it yet...but..during my BMQ training (Pres),
ad QL3 supply was ruining, it was a 15 week course, new pilot course. It is likely to continue on that way, so the qualification stands for people transferring from Pres to Regs.
Allot of whining was made from the regs about the former 4 weeks QL3 sup. tech. that is why they have change it.
and over the next "Few years" all course for the Pres should be approach to near the regs one to have equal training.
If I'm lucky, Ill do my QL3 with the regs this winter in Borden or were ever it is taught.

Not sure if the supply course is done the same way as the Engineer QL3 A/B Course where everything is broken down into modules. If that is the case then you can still go with your first choice.

If my math is right, that means it is about a 11 week course. Good on them for increasing it. I got a 5 week QL3 Sup Tech course in Wainwright back in 99, and thought that it didnt have enough time to get my knowledge beyond powerpoint deep.
