Practical work included basic electronics, some HF radio work, internet work and web page creation. During the weekend cadets earned 22 full licence certificates and 23 communicators badges.

The introduction of the multi-training weekends is a new initiative where several cadet training events take place in one location over a weekend, the aim being to reduce the number of training dates in the training calendar thus freeing up valuable time for Squadron based training and activities.
The next multi-training weekend will be held over the weekend of the 5th – 6th July 2008 and the courses on offer include BASIC Instructor Cadet training, Provisional Radio Licence course and Cadet NCO Drill Instruction course.
