National Record of Achievement

	The National Record of Achievement (NRA) encourages young people to take an active part in their own training and development and gives potential employers and educators the necessary information, suitably endorsed, in the form of a convenient and comprehensible record.
A progressive summary of the achievements and experiences of an individual throughout their education, training and working life is contained in a hard backed folder (issued initially to each 5th year student in secondary education).

ATC activities can contribute significantly towards the worth of an individual and cadets need to put such details into their NRAs.

The standard insert dealing with achievements and experiences outside school is too small to allow reasonable coverage of the full spread of Corps activities. Teachers involved with NRA entries are not usually in a position to judge the value of ATC service.

The responsibility therefore lies with Sqn Cdrs to make sure the achievements and experiences of the cadets are properly recorded in NRAs. For this purpose, a specialised ATC insert has been produced which is available from Wg HQs or direct from HQAC (TG Admin).

The ATC insert entries should be completed routinely to record cadet achievements. Paper copies should be used to draft entries before final typing on the card inserts and authorisation by Sqn Cdrs. The ATC inserts should be completed in final type and passed to the cadet normally only for transitions in education or employment or on leaving the Corps.

Entries should be made after consultations between cadets and their sqn/DF adults nominated by Sqn Cdrs. Staff of Wg HQs are to monitor standards as directed by ACRHQs so that cadets gain the maximum potential value from their ATC inserts in NRAs.
