International Air Cadet Exchange

The International Air Cadet Exchange (IACE) links the Air Cadets with the world. For 15 days every July and August we exchange students so each gets a taste of the other's culture and another great cadet experience. Places are limited, and if you're aged between 17 and 19 you'll need to apply as soon as the scheme allows to be in with a chance - you can find out more from your instructors.

Who's in the scheme?

The first exchange was in 1947 between the UK and the Canadian Air Cadets. The world-wide cadet family now comprises more than 20 nations, with around 600 cadets/volunteer staff exchanging annually. About 90 of those are from the UK, who head off to about 15 different countries around the world. English is used as the common language.
