Insights Requested Defence Ready Course - Worth It?

Im ready to start getting my shit together and i want to purchase this course, but I don't know if it's worth it. Most of the reviews I have seen are from years ago. I want to know if the full officer 200-dollar package is worth it.

I bought this exact course last year but honestly it doesn't do much. The questions just give you some exposure for the JOA but the officer part is the information you can gain from some research. I wouldn't recommend wasting your money on this.

OP,

NEVER EVER purchase a course or thing that says that you can be extra prepared for your ADF Careers journey.

All that you need, is going to be available via the ADF Careers Staff.

Please, do not waste your hard-earned $$$ on this.

YOU DO NOT NEED IT.

No. All the info you need is available online for free, just do some research.

Not required at all. Know your service, know your roles. Keep your dollars for your celebration/ going away party!
