MILITARY TRAINING SUPPORT CENTER
RECRUIT TRAINING
The Military Training Support Center located at Barbarons on the West Coast of Mahe is tasked to train all new recruits who join SDF. Recruit training was formerly undertaken at the Seychelles Defence Academy, but since 1ST February 2018 SDF decided to shift the training at Barbarons. Recruits undertake 90 days of extensive training that covers a variety of military and civic subjects. After graduation, the new Privates are posted to their unit of choice within SDF where they continue to specialise and progress in a particular field.
