Details have yet to be finalized, but preliminary reports suggest the cadets will complete between 10 and 14 weeks of training in that one summer. After the completion of BOTP, those cadets who are not yet bilingual are usually enrolled in a seven-week period of Second Language Training (SLT) at Canadian Forces Language School Detachment Saint-Jean. The remaining summers are spent completing Phase II, which are environmental training courses (depending on whether the cadet is Canadian Army, Navy or Air force). On the job training courses are also available to a number of cadets during the summer periods. During Phases III and IV, students take trade specific training courses.
