"NCA are promoted to Acting Sergeants as soon as they pass their Airman Aircrew Initial Training Course.
In each of the 3 NCA specialisations you undergo extensive professional training, from which you emerge as a full Sergeant.
Once this is completed you are awarded your flying brevet and posted to an OCU for more training on your specific aircraft type or role.
Many NCA go on to become Commissioned officers."
