Enrolments closed for 2026

Enrolment Process

Due to the nature of our training programme, we only have one intake of cadets at the beginning of Term One each year.

Please contact us at ncu@cadetforces.org.nz if you’d like to register for information on 2027 information evenings.

Cost of Membership

Our annual fees are $110, and there is a one-off joining of $40 which covers the cost of items such as name badges.
The majority of our activities and exercises are fully subsidised by the Unit Support Committee, through our sponsors.
