UFTO Course: the UFTO course was re-written in 2012 to conform to AGAI Volume 1 Chapter 7, updated documentation, PT policies and various reference materials.
Your search is over if you are looking for the solution to using your military headset with your Kenwood 2 Pin compatible radio. Unit Fitness Training Officer (UFTO): A week long course designed to provide officers with an overview of their role and responsibilities as a UFTO. UFTOs do not instruct on fitness lessons, rather they can provide leadership, oversight and strategy/policy functions or act as a figurehead ( it typically depends on a combination of the person fulfilling the role and the Commanding Officer’s intent). In the early 2000s, the PTI3 and PTI2 courses were amalgamated into the 9-week, later 10-week, All Arms Physical Training Instructor (AA PTI) course. 3.2 Post 2012 The grading structure for the PTI3 course I attended in 1996 is outlined in Table 1 below. Table 1: Grading structureBaoFeng: UV5R, UV-3R+, UV-5RE, UV-5R+, 666S, 777S, 888S, BF-V85, UV-3R+, UV-200, UV-100, UV-5R, BF-888S, BF-F8, BF-FF8+, UV-B6, UV-B5, UV-3R, UV-5RA, UV-5RC, UV-6, BF-K5, BF-A5, F8PH, UV-82, UV-82HP, BF-F8+ or any other with a Kenwood style plug. (Baofeng Push to talk), DM-1701 and similar radios Since 2012 the Defence Instructional Techniques (Trainer) (DITT) course has been fully integrated into the AA PTI course. 4.9 Flag Competition
The pass off parade consists of six displays, one display per section, to demonstrate the skills obtained throughout the AA PTI course. The audience will include family members of those who undertake the course as well as the Colonel Commandant of the RAPTC in attendance, and occasionally other specially invited guests. The parade concludes with the high horse display, performed by the permanent staff of the ASPT, newly qualified RAPTC instructors and the PTI class one course. 7.0 Qualifications Gained The Annual Fitness Test (AFT) in accordance with MATT 2 (Fitness), carrying 25kg (not including weapon and water). A major difference between military and civilian fitness instructors, as alluded to above, is that civilian fitness instructors are not required to complete the training that their clients undertake. Also, a client’s fitness goals and aspirations are set by the client and not a higher formation (in this case the British Army).
Heat and cold injuries ( delivered by qualified medical representatives from the Royal Army Medical Corps) Physical fitness is the differentiator. Civilian fitness instructors are not tested on their physical fitness (in a course critical pass or fail capacity) during their initial or upgrading courses, as it is not considered an important element regarding instructing clients to achieve their fitness goals. However, it is generally pleasing to witness a fitness instructor who looks like they should actually be a fitness instructor, if you get my meaning. We are very pleased to announce the arrival of the next generation of the multi-mode radio capability. Mobile push-to-talk services, offered by some mobile carriers directly as well as by independent companies, adds PTT functionality to smartphones and specialized mobile handsets (hand portable and mobile/base station PTT Radio Terminals). In addition to mobile handsets, some services also work on a laptop, desktop, and tablet computers. It will offer significant enhancement to the war fighter across all three services by delivering world-leading command and communications capability to the front line.”
In 1996 when I attended my first fitness course at the Army School of Physical Training (ASPT) – the British Army’s PTI Class Three Course (now All Arms Physical Training Instructor course) – I was one of 99 trainees (one did not turn up) wondering what we had let ourselves in for! Of the 99 trainees on the first day only two were women (one TA (now Army Reserve) soldier and one regular soldier). Peters, D. (2012) The Army School of Physical Training – Aldershot: Foreword.

Highly portable and equipped with powerful batteries, they can be operated either by dismounted soldiers or mounted on vehicles. Hytera: TC-265, TC-268, TC-268S, TC-270, TC-270S, TC-365, TC-368, TC-368S, TC-370, TC-370S, TC-620, TC-700EX, X01 Upon successful completion of the AAPTI course, instructors can attend a number of other courses, for example: Governments that have sanctioned MEC and MEHL should encourage Thailand, Japan, Singapore, and other countries with significant investment in Myanmar to adopt similar measures.
Passed all course requirements and awarded Crossed Swords badge. Qualified for employment in a Trained Soldiers’ unit under the supervision of an RAPTC instructor. Combat Fitness Test (CFT) (aka Annual Fitness Test, AFT): a distance of eight miles over undulating terrain on the Aldershot training area carrying approximately 25kg (55lbs) in time of less than 1 hour 50 minutes. This test is conducted during the first week, usually on the Friday. The skills required to successfully pass the PTI course include leadership, comradeship, enthusiasm, respect, integrity and team spirit. The Army believes these skills will all come with the experience gained by working in arduous environments and within a team, in whichever part of the Army one may join first (this is a non-direct entry role). Their introduction into the MOD’s tactical networks will create skilled jobs in the UK and provides increased interoperability with key allies and boosts the communications capabilities of our deployed forces. The course was very much designed to be progressive in terms of both theoretical and practical application using the EDIP method (explanation, demonstration, imitation and practice). For example, trainees were taught the theory of warm-ups, given a practical demonstration of a warm-up (trainees were the guinea pigs), trainees would then imitate and finally practice.
AAPTI instructors are required to attend the AAPTI refresher course every five years to remain ‘in-date.’ It is the role of unit RAPTCIs and regional RAPTC inspection teams to ensure which instructors are ‘in-date’. Finally, implicit for our civilian brethren is the critical aspect of customer service and care. Although care (of trainees and avoidance of injury) is implicit for PTIs, both commanders and PTIs have a very varied range of interpretation for the implementation and delivery of ‘customer service’ in the Army. Think of the 80-10-10 rule; 80% are average to good, 10% are very good, and 10% have areas for improvement. 11.0 PTIs: The Funny Side The PTT switch is most commonly located on the radio's handheld microphone, or for small hand-held radios, directly on the radio. For heavy radio users, a PTT foot switch may be used, and also can be combined with either a boom-mounted microphone or a headset with integrated microphone. Flag competitions are held every Friday morning. They include a variety of different activities ranging from athletics to battle PT. This is an opportunity to go up against other sections throughout the course to compete for pride but also for the flag of the RAPTC, which is presented to the winning section on the pass off parade. 5.0 Grading Structure During the 1990s the ASPT, located in Aldershot, offered three primary fitness instruction qualifications for soldiers and one fitness-related qualification for officers:
