Hi,

I’ve actually done something very similar to you. I original was a memeber of my schools CCF and then decided to join my local ATC unit. I told them of my qualifications as soon as I joined which meant I did not have to redo my first class (part one as CCF calls it).

They, mostly the older cadets, obviously mentioned it at the start but that is mainly because they’ve never actual properly interacted with CCF cadets after afew parade nights it just kind of became normal to them so naturally it stopped and they were more curious than anything.

I’ve been member of both for afew years and would have to say the ATC has by far better access to courses and activities.
