Requirements/Analysis The Organisation The Air Training Corps (ATC) is a UK cadet force for young people aged 13 to 22 to find a positive purpose in life. There are now independent Air Cadet Organisations in many other countries throughout the world. It is controlled and funded by the Royal Air Force, although the young people who make up its membership are civilians. It is not a pre-service organisation; however a significant minority of its members do go on to join the RAF or other services. The aims of the Air Training Corps are: • To promote and encourage among young people a practical interest in aviation and the Royal Air Force (RAF) • To provide training which will be useful in the Service and civilian life • To foster the spirit of adventure and develop qualities of leadership and good citizenship. The ATC was formed by Royal Warrant in 1941 and sprang from the Air Defence Cadet Corps, founded in 1938 by the Air League. Although initially formed to meet the needs of a nation at war, the Corps continues to thrive as it enters the 21st Century. The ATC motto is: ‘Venture Adventure’. The System The system I am looking at is the organisation of cadets to staff and cadets and staff to the projects or activities they have chosen to participate in. Problems with the current system There is no current system to organise this so as I looked around the squadron for something to organise and study and there were a lot of people complaining about other people not remembering what project group they are in and what staff supervise them. That’s when I thought to create a database to help people to remember what project groups they are in, what they are doing in their project groups and what staff supervise the project groups. I asked my Commanding Officer if it was alright to create such a database and he approved of it almost immediately. The database will be stored on the computer in the office that the CO is in sole charge of. Centre Number: 62441 The Henley College Date
