Basic Military Qualfication (BMQ) refers to the course all recruits to the Canadian Forces must complete. Once a soldier has passed the course, he is considered "BMQ Qualified".

Failing

Training failures are the result of either a Voluntary Release, or for repeatedly failing either written or practical tests of the Performance Objectives. Each candidate who is not performing to standard progresses through a warning system giving them very clear updates on their lack of progress or specific deficiencies, guidance for improvement, extra instruction where applicable, and a minimum of 24 hours between retests.
