Venture, Naval Officers Training Centre
VENTURE, the Naval Officers Training Centre (NOTC), located at Work Point in CFB Esquimalt, encompasses all aspects of junior naval officer training and development. In addition to MARS Officer MOC phase training, and Fleet and Deep Draught Navigation Officer training, NOTC also supports refresher and other training activities of the Fleet. Using a wide range of modern facilities, NOTC teaches a balance of the theoretical and practical attributes and skills required by all MARS officers. Training is conducted within the Vice-Admiral A.L. Collier Building (Work Point 1094), which houses the Navigation and Bridge Simulator (NABS)- a world-class facility - the Naval Part Task Trainer (NPTT), electronic classrooms and two multi-media theatres.
NOTC also conducts the Naval Reserve Initial Assessment Period/Basic Officer Training Program (NR IAP/BOTP), which runs annually from May to August. The aim of NR IAP/BOTP is to select and develop naval officers for employment in the Naval Reserve component of the Canadian Forces.
