BACKGROUND

An important requirement of any air force is the availability of highly skilled and competent personnel. To improve on the training of its personnel, the Nigerian Air Force unbundled the erstwhile Training Command on 5 Jul 17 to create the Air Training Command and Ground Training Command. This was to ensure that a balanced and more robust focus was given to both air and ground crew training. The Air Training Command, with its Headquarters in Kaduna, is chiefly responsible for implementing Nigerian Air Force local flying and aircrew training policies and programmes. The Air Training Command is made up of 14 groups and 2 hospitals.
