Non-Infantry recruits will then be tested before going on to complete their recruits course (Pt 1C) as delivered by ATRA. Infantry recruits will not be tested at this stage, but, will continue their training over a further three weekends before undertaking CIC training] [cite web|url=http://www.hac.org.uk/html/the-regiment/join-the-hac-regiment/frequently-asked-questions/|title=Frequently Asked Questions|publisher=HAC|accessdate=2 Jun 08|quote=The HAC runs two Recruits' courses each year, beginning in February/March and September/October.
