Question about CPC

[Kerpow]

Hello

I have a quick question regarding qualifications and if the RAF recognises them. I have 5 GCSE's at C or above and a CPC in Road Haulage (which I have been told is equivalent to 2 A levels or a GNVQ) Im interested in looking at Wsop but was wondering if the CPC would enable me to go for anything higher ?I am 34 this year so realise time is running out

Thanks in advance

You can be a driver, however the CPC means little in the RAF.

Many thanks Snowball, looking at the RAF careers website it says im too old for driver, are the age limits true or are they willing to "juggle" a ittle here and there on the trades ?

What grade equivalent is the CPC at A Level? To be a WSOp you only need the 5 GCSE's at grade C or above, including English Language and Maths. With 2 A Levels you can apply to be an Officer, provided your A Levels are at Grade D and above. If the CPC is the equivalent of 2 x Grade D A Levels, then you can apply for that. Liaise with your local AFCO who should contact I of R at Cranwell to get an answer as to whether or not it is a relevant qualification.
