Question on cost of training...

[RMalik]

Approximately how much does it cost to train an NCM (Reg) of Combat Arms trades? Who would be paying directly? Would it be the DND?

I was going to put this topic under the sub-forums "Training" or "Combat Arms," but since it is related to money I thought it appropriate to post it here. If this topic is under the wrong sub-forum, I will kindly ask the mods to move it.

If raising a child in Canada to age of 18 costs an average of $305 000, I'd imagine that for a single NCM, from Pte(R) to CWO from age 18 to 55 which is 37 years if I did the math correctly... Geez... easily 1 year of training per head could cost about $500 000... 37 years.... I'm sure you'd have a price tage of $1 billion.

BILLION DOLLAR MAN! 

Edit: Actually, on second thought, I have no idea. Resuming beer time. Juliet-Sierra-One, out.

It would depend on the occupation.  Why do you want to know?  Are you asking about the cost from civi to trained pte, or the cost to train over a whole career?

Yes.

I'm just curious, that's all. I recently read a few articles on how much it costs other infantry soldiers from US and UK and was surprised at the figures. I couldn't find anything about on any job in the CF in reference to training costs.

To be specific I am talking about BMQ>BMQ-L>MOC.
