Grand job, cheers.

No Battle PT is only in the PTI syllabus

[concussion]

I'm 99% sure we were told PTS could conduct Battle PT. Whether I mis-heard or was told incorrectly is something I can't guarantee though!

Basically:
PTL - warm up, cool down and running in PT gear. 2 week full time course
PTS - combat PT, circuit training and creation of training plans (not 100% on the last). PTL course plus 6 week full time course.
PTI - PTL plus PTS plus 6 month course.

PTI's are the only ones allowed to conduct combat PT sessions.

Thanks for the welcome Vickers, on using the search function, i was simply mentioning to concussion that the course had been running for longer than the 2 years he mentioned in his post. Good to know the function is there tho, thanks.

Thanks for that mate, I diddnt realise it was the same course!
It sounds like a good course, i think i will have to go for it if its available this year.
Do you know what grade it requires in the fitness test?
Cheers,

The RDF course IS the PDF course. Courses have been advertised the last two years for the RDF. The content is basic physiology, diet and components of fitness, amongst others. Skills are more focussed at safely leading troops in PT, rather than just doing lots of running - mostly aimed at correct warm ups and appropriate distances/pace for the troops you are exercising.

The difference between a PTL and a PTI is about about 8 months! In between you also have to do a PTS course (PT Supervisor)

Basically:
PTL - warm up, cool down and running in PT gear. 2 week full time course
PTS - combat PT, circuit training and creation of training plans (not 100% on the last). PTL course plus 6 week full time course.
PTI - PTL plus PTS plus 6 month course.
