Welcome to the Bravo Fleet Academy! All modules here are open to all members of Bravo Fleet, but it's recommended that you start with the New Member Program.

If this is your first time here, you will need to create an account, which is separate from your BFMS account. During the registration process, you will be prompted to link your BFMS and Moodle accounts by providing your BFMS ID. You will also then be able to enrol in each of the modules separately.

    Available courses

    New Member Program

    The New Member Program is designed for members within their first few weeks in Bravo Fleet and is intended to prepare them to more easily navigate the fleet’s structure, regardless of the activities that they enjoy doing most.

    • Cadets will develop a strong familiarity with the BFMS and the user dossier system so that they can record their own activity, participate in competitions, and select the path by which they would like to advance.

    • Cadets will understand the relationship between the various fleet offices responsible for the different parts of the advancement system, namely the task forces, the OCS, and the gaming office.

    • Cadets will be exposed to the wider fleet community available to them, so that they may become familiar with the fleet’s many activities, competitions, and other offerings.

    • Cadets will understand their rights and responsibilities as a member of Bravo Fleet.
