Visit - RAAF Base Wagga – School of Technical Training

The Tribunal visited the School
of Technical Training (STT) at RAAF Base Wagga as part of their induction to
ADF training facilities.

The Tribunal were briefed on the
roles and responsibilities of the STT by the Commanding Officer and gained an
understanding of both the training conducted at the STT and the military
training requirements in a tri-Service environment.

The Tribunal met with instructional staff from the Air Force and contractors as well as with trainees
undertaking specialised training as aircraft technicians, avionics technicians,
aircraft life support fitters and aircraft structural fitters. These
discussions allowed the Tribunal to appreciate the elements and the intensity
of training as well as the skills gained on graduation.
