Courses
1. ATU (L) provides courses covering a
wide range of military subjects, which are
designed to directly support Reserve Unit
commanders develop and maintain military
capability.
2. Defence Instructions and Notices,
2013 DIN07-179 dated Dec 2013 states
the requirements for course trained
personnel within a unit and the mandatory
qualifications to be held by them.
3. Additionally, units need sufficient
suitably qualified staff to conduct training
in order to achieve their Military Annual
Training Test (MATT) objectives.
4. ATU (L) courses are designed to
qualify each student attending and to
meet the standards set by the respective
Training Standards Authority (TSA).
5. All Specialist Training delivered by ATU
(L) is conducted by qualified and
accredited instructors, who undergo
continuous internal and external
validation.
6. Units are reminded that the laid down
criteria for attendance (rank and pre-
requisite qualifications) need to be
adhered to in order to ensure that students
receiving training attain formal
qualifications for the training undertaken.
Students who successfully complete
ATU (L) run courses are provided with a
course certificate to confirm the training
undertaken and the qualification gained.
7. Where courses span a number of
weekends, it is mandatory that students
complete all elements in order to receive
the relevant Military qualification.
8. Following successful completion of a
training course, units will need to ensure
that the appropriate JPA action is taken
to correctly document the qualifications
held by personnel trained at ATU (L).
9. Many of the ATU (L) Specialist Training
Courses are accredited by the Institute of
Leadership and Management (ILM), and
can be added to the soldiers personal
civilian CV. This acts as a valuable
recognition of the soldiers transferable
Military skills to their civilian employer.
10. Full details of the accredited
courses are shown below, and
opportunities to apply for the
accreditation is made at the beginning
of each course - as some extra course
work and reflective learning is required
to demonstrate the additional
understanding of the course subject
matter, for submission at the end of the
course:
Military Course v Civilian Accredited Qualification
Note that all Military Courses are currently being reviewed with the aim of recognising all transferable skills from military to civilian business areas. All future Accreditation opportunities will be notified by ABNs or DINs via the normal briefing channels.
06 | ATU (L) Courses Handbook 2014-15
Bidding for Courses
1. The number of vacancies for each
course depends on external regulations
and instructor availability.
2. Course booking forms are available:
a. By e-mail from ATU (L) to:
b. Online from the ATU (L) website
on ArmyNet:
https://www.ArmyNet.mod.uk/club/
navigate2.php?pageID=39402
3. Course places are allocated on a
first come first served basis and will
be confirmed back to the Unit via a
fax or e-mail for each student
application.
4. When completing the Booking form
please note that the specific course
number must be quoted and not the
weekend serial number or date, if more
than one course is being bid for - a
separate Booking form is to be used for
each course.
5. In rare circumstances, courses may be
cancelled because the student group
would be too small to achieve the
necessary learning momentum. In this
instance, Units will be notified as soon as
possible.
6. When making a booking Units should
ensure that the student is committed and
available to attend for the full duration of
the course, as students who fail to attend
may result in depriving other people of
the training, or could result in a course
being cancelled on the day.
7. In order to minimise the impact of late
withdrawals and non-attendees, bids can
be accepted from units on courses which
are full on a ‘reserve’ basis. Units will be
notified upon submitting a course bid
that the student is a reserve, and that, a
confirmed course place will be given as
soon as is practicable or alternatively if the
reserve reports to Longmoor Barracks on
the Friday evening of Weekend One they
may be accepted onto the course in place
of a non-attendee.
8. The latest date by which written
course bids must be received is six
weeks before the course starts to allow
sufficient time for Joining Instructions to
be sent out (approximately four weeks
before the course is due to commence).
9. In exceptional cases, such as very
late course bids etc. Units are encouraged
to contact ATU (L) by telephone, to
enquire about late availability on courses.
10. It is imperative that the gender and
any special dietary requirements are
specified on the Booking form so that the
students’ needs and accommodation
needs are met, and also so that Unit
master records can be set up correctly
and subsequently maintained.
11. A wall chart of the Training Course
calendar is available, and can be
downloaded from the ATU (L) ArmyNet
website.

training weekends during the courses.
17. ATU (L) instructors are committed to
