In the [[French Armed Forces]], the posting, named « ''élève officer'' »  or 'student officer' in French, is generally given to officers in training in their first months of education. They are eventually promoted to the rank of [[aspirant]] or officer candidate. While both positions are quite comparable, aspirant is an actual rank, meaning the officer-in-training can hold effective authority, if ordered, on non-commissioned members of the military.
