Paid Education - Non-Commissioned Member Subsidized Training and Education Plan
The Non-Commissioned Member Subsidized Training and Education Plan (NCMSTEP) offers full-time paid training or education at Canadian colleges, universities and other postsecondary establishments for authorized courses of study related to military occupations. This program allows our members to attain the knowledge and skills they need to perform demanding tasks in diverse environments, as well as optimize their professional development.
If you wish to work as an expert in your field, you may want to consider enrolling in the NCMSTEP.
This paid program is a competitive application process. An applicant may be a:
Civilian, with or without prior CAF service; or
Non-commissioned member (NCM) in the Regular Force or the Reserve Force.
A non-commissioned member (NCM) is any person, other than an officer, who is enrolled in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). NCM are soldiers, sailors and aviators. They are the skilled experts whose hands-on experience and trade specialties are required to conduct all CAF operations domestically and abroad. As they gain leadership experience and go up in rank, they become part of the command team.
The salary of an untrained Private is $42,400/year. You will receive this the moment you successfully enroll. This will increase upon graduation from your trades training, and with seniority. With paid tuition and a salary during school, you can graduate without requiring student loans!
