Description: The important work of the volunteers who lead Civil Air Patrol cadets
includes developing cadets’ character, encouraging physical fitness, building
leadership skills, and inspiring aerospace-minded youth. Through education and
training, CAP senior members become more effective mentors and leaders of cadets.

Training Leaders of Cadets is a curriculum for adults who implement the Cadet
Program at the squadron level. This 2-day course provides senior members with a
strategic perspective of the Cadet Program, leadership skills for helping youth achieve
their goals, and training in how to manage a successful program.

App for PD Courses
National Staff College is the capstone course in professional
development.  It is designed for members who are, or will be,
assuming positions of regional or national importance within CAP.

NSC is taught by senior CAP leaders and USAF instructors from Air
University, the curriculum challenges students in the areas of executive
leadership, management, organizational behavior, and policy
formulation.  Much time is spent examining CAP's national-level
operations.  Students engage in seminar discussions, case studies,
and exercises throughout the seven day course.

Because of the graduate-level design of NSC, as well as its focus on
national-level operations, attendance at National Staff College is
restricted to those members who hold the grade of Major (or above),
who have completed CAP's Region Staff College (or equivalent), and
who have the endorsement of their wing commander.

National Staff College for 2009 will be held October 17-24, at Maxwell
AFB in Montgomery, AL, home of CAP's National Headquarters.  Travel
days are October 17 and October 24. (NOTE: Class begins in the late
afternoon of 17 October.)

Tuition for the 2009 National Staff College is $150 (does not include
transportation, lodging and meals). For more information, you can
download the NSC 2009 brochure.
