Topic: Army Courses List

[Michael O'Leary]

There have been different requests on the boards for a 'list of Army courses available." The following list has been extracted from a document found on the Defence Information Network (DIN). I have reduced it to offer course name, officer/NCM (where specific to one career progression or the other), trade (where specified), and the Centre of Excellence (responsible for course development and, often but not exclusively, running of the course).

The list may include courses that are run infrequently, or have ceased to be run, or may still be under development.

Keep in mind these are just the course for which THE ARMY has responsibility to develop and conduct, it does not include purple courses run at schools that serve all three services. The list, therefore, contains primarily Combat Arms courses.

[Randy15]

Is there anywhere that i could find more info on the Winter Warfare courses?

[CDN Aviator]

You have 2 courses on there from CFSAL that are not controlled by the army, i assume that was the original intent ?

[Michael O'Leary]

They were in the original document, the courses are Army responsibility for management of content, but conducted by CFSAL.

[Randy15]

And the winter warfare course question should be it's own topic.

You mean i should start a whole new thread on getting info on winter warfare courses?

[Michael O'Leary]

Actually, in this case it might help. Some who could address the topic may not have seen the question because they aren't following the "course list" thread.

And then a mod can sanitize this thread of all non-applicable content.

Ive posted the Link to WATC, they have lots of good info in regards to joining instructions and so on.

How does it work with getting into a specific course??

In the reserve you fill out a course request form, don't know how it works in the reg force.

Can anyone offer details or a link regarding this course:

What is the course Miltary Tandem Master about?

[Centurian1985]

I was going to add that there is also a targeting course in the Uk open to officers and NCM, but are you restricting the list to only courses controlled by the Army?

[Michael O'Leary]

The list in the original post was the list of course controlled by the Canadian Army at the time it was posted.  It has not been amended for any changes since then.  It does not include all possible courses a soldier or officer might attend in their career.

[Shaun]

Michael,

Do you have the DIN link for the courses?  I'm assuming a memo through the chain of command is how one would get onto the mentioned courses?

Thanks,

Shaun

[Michael O'Leary]

What you see is what I had.  Any further details on specific cources would be published by the designated Centre of Excellence.

I am going to try and add the link to the 06/07 and 07/08 Army National Individual Trg calendars.  These list the courses that are planned by the Army for those respective years.

http://armyonline.kingston.mil.ca/LFDTS/143000440010602/Default.asp

This is the CTC Gagetown Website for those calendars.  Other courses conducted by CFSTG are found here:

http://borden.mil.ca/toc/english/training_establishments_e.asp

For certain career courses - your career manager would load you and for others a memo through the chain of command will do.  Keep in mind that you have to be realistic in your expectations of what course you can get on.  The next few years will see limited posns available on Basic Para courses for example due to the standup of the Spec Ops Regt and the need to reconstitute jump capability back into 3 RCR.

[Leo791989]

Do you guys know about Air Force course(s) as well?
Especially Met Tech.

[George Wallace]

Usually us Combats Arms types aren't going to find out much about Air Force Courses.

[plattypuss]

If you can get on the Army News website they have a feature on the Met Tech trade. Link below for the DIN.

I know everyone probably trys for this but does anyone know how to apply for or how to get into sniper training? Do they ask you?

I get sworn in on the 13th and leave for basic on the 25th and I was wondering if theres anything I could do to plan ahead.  Thanks

this will not be the first time that question has been asked. I know you find that shocking. There are dozens of pages on it. SEARCH.

[George Wallace]

Too early for you to be worrying about that.  You have to get in first.  Then you have to become a Member of the Infantry Branch.  Then you have to become a member of an Infantry Regiment (Regular Force).  Then you may be recognized for your skills, knowledge and courses that you've completed, and be lucky enough to be nominated for the Crse.

I get sworn in on the 13th and leave for basic on the 25th and I was wondering if theres anything I could do to plan ahead.  Thanks

Nope!

Thanks I get the idea, and SEARCH I will!

[Haligonian]

I'm curious as to how courses are divided amongst Officers and NCMs.  For example I noticed that Desert Warfare is offered only to NCM's but Jungle and Winter Warfare courses are offered to both Officers and NCMs.  Is this simply a matter of not having enough instructors for an officer Desert course or does it have something to do with the nature of the officer’s role?  I'd also be curious about the sniping courses as they are all offered only to NCMs.  Are there no officers in the army who are snipers?  Do NCOs exclusively lead sniper detachments?
