Job summary:

Number 1 Radio School (No 1 RS) is the foremost provider of Information & Communication Technology (ICT) training to the Royal Air Force's ICT Technicians (Trade Group 4) and Engineer Officers (Communications Electronics), in addition to selected Army, Navy and Civilian personnel.

No 1 RS trainers are a 'whole-force' mix of Armed Services (predominantly RAF) and Civil Service instructors/lecturers, who deliver world-class technical training to a broad audience of students across a varied ICT curriculum. Specialist Instructional Officers (SIOs) develop and deliver ICT technical training to Phase 2 (initial technical), Phase 3 (pre-employment/career) students and Engineering Management to Phase 2 Officers who are either beginning their Service careers or undertaking training for specific roles they are due to be assigned into.
