PROFESSIONAL
TECHNICAL COURSES

Officers in the Royal Logistic Corps have the
option to undertake one of four Professional
Technical Courses:

Ammunition Technical Officer’s Couse
Those who complete the Ammunition Technical
Officer’s Course will become specialists in
explosives, bomb disposal and the maintenance of
all types of ammunition. From 9mm pistol rounds to
guided missile systems, you will understand every
piece of land service ammunition. As your skills
develop you will be called upon to perform the
clearance of conventional munitions, unexploded
ordinance and improvised explosive devices and
could provide integral support to Special Forces and
Government agencies

Food Services and Contract Management Course
When deployed, the British Army frequently utilises
Host Nation Support and those who attend the
Contract Management Course will be responsible for
negotiating, implementing and managing contracts
that support the whole force; from fresh food supplies
to fuel.

Port and Maritime Operations Officers’ Course
Upon completion of the course you will be assigned to 17 Port and Maritime Regiment as an
Operations Officer. You will perform beach and port reconnaissance tasks and plan and
conduct the loading and discharge of strategic shipping. You will deploy with Port Task Groups
and undertake operations around the world in support of military and humanitarian relief
operations.

Petroleum Officers’ Course
The Petroleum Officers’ Course will train you in the receipt, storage, testing and distribution of
fuels and lubricants. You will learn how to site, build and operate deployable Bulk Fuel
Installations and ensure the quality of products through inspection and chemical analysis.
