Foundation Tour
Upon completion of your training, you will graduate as an RAF ICT Tech and be sent on your first tour.
Opportunities exist across the country for your first tour, but wherever you are sent you will be using your skills to immediately support the RAF’ s outputs. You will join a team responsible for managing your unit’ s cyberspace systems.
A first tour could be as part of 90 Signals Unit, which includes the RAF’ s deployable expeditionary communications team. This team deploys around the globe and a job here would have you supporting global operations by providing the cyberspace systems that enable communications back to the UK effectively.
Alternatively, you could be employed on an aircraft squadron, maintaining and supporting the aircraft’ s mission support system that enables the aircraft to carry out its sorties. Another current role for your first tour is to work within an information Hub, where you will be the first port of call for providing advice on software applications, information management and system administration, or repairing IT systems and installing software and hardware.
