Adventurous Training System (ATSYS)
ATSYS is to be used by Service Personnel wishing to undertake AT under the Joint Services Adventurous Training (JSAT) scheme, where the expedition is sponsored by the Army. ATSYS provides two methods for personnel to apply: Online and Offline
Royal Navy (RN) and Royal Air Force (RAF) sponsored expeditions should contact their respective Service Formation/Station for guidance, but the likelihood is that expeditions sponsored by the RN or RAF will continue to submit their applications using the Adventurous Training Management Information System (ATMIS) Microsoft Word forms, these can be found by using the 'Adventurous Training System (ATSYS) Related Documents' link in the right-hand menu.
Online Application (via Defence Intranet)
Where possible all applications for AT under the JSAT scheme are to be submitted online, this requires the individual submitting the application to have access to a PC connected which is service networked e.g. DII. Service personnel should log on to the Defence Intranet and visit the Adventurous Training team page for the link to ATSYS.
Offline Application (via Defence Internet)
If access to a PC connected to a service network e.g. DII. is not possible applications can be submitted using the 'ATSYS - JSATFA Offline Forms', these can also be found by using the 'Adventurous Training System (ATSYS) Related Documents' link in the right-hand menu. Note: The previous MS Word Forms used to submit applications (Joint Service Adventurous Training Form 'Alpha' (JSATFA) and Appendices), are not compatible with ATSYS.
