I have been looking through my dad's WW2 hand-written RAF pilot training notes and in the 'Signals' section have found instructions on Controlled Descent Through Cloud referred to as CDJJ rather than CDTC. Can anyone throw any light on this please?

After 2 RC Padgate he started training in November 1941 at 10(S) RC Blackpool, then 6 ITW Aberystwyth (4/42-7/42), 7 EFTS Desford (7/42-8/42), 5 BFTS Clewiston (11/42-7/43), 14 EFTS Elmdon (12/43-1/44), spent time with 166 Sqn at Kirmington (2/44-5/44), then 15 (P)AFU Babdown Farm and Long Newnton (5/44-6/44), 1 BAS Watchfield (6/44), Long Newnton again (6/44-7/44) before joining 435 Sqn RCAF (10/44-9/45 with a month at 361 MU) and later flew with ACSEA before demob at Hednesford in mid-46.

At what stage in his training would the ground instruction on subjects like Signals (including 'CDJJ') have been completed?
