Bangladesh Air Force Academy (BAFA) (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ বিমান বাহিনী একাডেমি) is a training and education academy which provides initial training to all men and women who are preparing to be officers in the Bangladesh Air Force.
[1][2] The academy traces its origin to the Cadet Training Unit of Bangladesh which was formed in November 1973.
Newly recruited cadets undergo three years of training before they receive a commission.
For the first two terms, cadets only receive general service training and read service-related subjects.
A flight cadet also earns a BSc degree in aeronautics from the Bangladesh University of Professionals.
