The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) is set to commence online registration for its Basic Military Training Course (BMTC) 47/2026 recruitment exercise on Thursday, September 3, 2026.
The recruitment exercise provides eligible Nigerians with an opportunity to enlist into the Nigerian Air Force as Airmen and Airwomen under the Non-Tradesmen and Women as well as Tradesmen and Women categories.
Prospective applicants are required to submit their applications through the official NAF recruitment portal: https://nafrecruitment.airforce.mil.ng.
How to Apply for NAF BMTC 47/2026 Recruitment
1. Visit the official recruitment portal
From September 3, 2026, applicants should visit the official NAF recruitment portal and carefully read the guidelines for the BMTC 47/2026 exercise before starting their application.
The portal will provide details on eligibility requirements, available categories and other instructions.
2. Select the appropriate category
The Non-Tradesmen and Women category is generally intended for applicants seeking enlistment with secondary school qualifications, while the Tradesmen and Women category is for candidates with relevant technical, professional or educational qualifications.
Applicants are advised to carefully review the requirements for their preferred category before applying.
3. Complete the online application
Applicants should provide accurate personal and educational information and ensure that their telephone number and email address are active and accessible.
Only one application should be submitted by each applicant. False information or multiple applications may result in disqualification.
4. Print the required documents
After successfully completing the application, candidates should print all documents generated by the recruitment portal.
Depending on the official requirements for the exercise, these may include an acknowledgement form, attestation form, parent or guardian consent form and local government certification form.
5. Prepare supporting documents
Applicants should keep their original documents and photocopies ready for subsequent stages of the recruitment exercise.
These may include academic certificates, birth certificate or declaration of age, certificate of origin, National Identification Number (NIN) documents and recent passport photographs.
Candidates should, however, rely on the exact document requirements published on the official recruitment portal.
6. Monitor official NAF channels
Shortlisted candidates, aptitude test venues and interview dates will be announced at a later stage through the official recruitment portal and verified Nigerian Air Force communication channels.
NAF Warns Applicants Against Fraudsters
The Nigerian Air Force has warned prospective applicants against paying individuals who claim they can influence the recruitment process.
The recruitment exercise is free, and the NAF does not engage agents to process applications, secure shortlisting or guarantee recruitment slots.
Applicants should treat anyone demanding money in exchange for recruitment assistance as a suspected fraudster.
Prospective candidates are therefore advised to obtain all information about the BMTC 47/2026 recruitment exercise only through the official Nigerian Air Force website and recruitment portal.
