The New Zealand Cadet Corps (NZCC), commonly known as Army Cadets, is the arm of the New Zealand Cadet Forces (NZCF) aligned with the New Zealand Army (NZ Army), which is why we have similar uniforms, rank structure and training. A lot of the training, customs and traditions undertaken by the Army Cadets aligns with that of the NZ Army.
If you decide to become a Army Cadet, you’ll receive all the common training that every member of the NZCF receives, but you’ll also receive the training which is specific to the Army Cadets! You don't necessarily need to have a strong interest in bushcraft as Cadet Units offer a wide variety of training and experiences that are unique to the NZCF, and you will learn valuable life and work skills that will open new possibilities, opportunities and career options. You will be part of a team, develop leadership and survival skills, make new friends, experience challenges and learn to take responsibility.
