What a cracking course. First week was basic tactics, culminating with 3 days in the field (a FOB in Caerwent). The second week was all about the M Qual (EASPs, BLs and BEs taken at Sennybridge). The instructors were quality, they pitched it at the right level for us all arms retards and didnt beast us á la SCBC etc. There are some long days when preparing EASPs and LPs etc but generally its quite relaxed. I would definately recommend it to anyone with an interest in teaching BCCS.

ps we were uber lucky with the weather. It was baltic but we must have had one of the driest 2 weeks in Brecon history.

Qualification and Authorization

0207. SAA Instructor Qualification. It is mandatory that in all units the basic weapon handling lessons and practice periods, laid down in the relevant weapon General Staff Publication (GSP), are given by a qualified small arms instructor; that is, someone who has successfully attended either Section Commanders Battle Course (SCBC)(SAA phase) or all Arms SAA Instructors course who themselves are proven competent to handle the weapons being taught. - AOSP

Sort of. It sounds similar to the AASAA course, where you're not taught the subject matter, but the method of delivery, as it's all contained within the relevant PAM. If you're not savvy on the rifle you won't pass the AASAA course becuase there's no time to re-teach what you should already know.

"shoddy section attacks" are bourne out of poor imagination/planning, considering the lesson should be taken out of the relevant PAM (PAM 2 for example). This is one of the reasons any SAA qual focusses on "where in the PAM can I find x-information on x-subject" etc.
