I am trying to develop a "Leadership Academy" for cadets in my squadron. I have found reference to a NCO Academy and SNCO Academy but with no materials available. Does anyone know where I can find these materials?

Contact the WING/CP that offers those courses.

Here's a pretty well run one that WIWG has, not real sure about the website, haven't visited it in a while.

You know, image is everything, and you can only make one first impression.

A quick glance at the website shows a number of fairly obvious uniform problems, and the brochure features a cadet wearing a cord over BDU's.

If the whole point is to teach NCO's to "get it right", they might want to start w/ their advertising.

I'm guessing you're talking about the cadet in the "Airborne" Hat, at the quick glance, I would have to say, I concur.

The black shoulder cord, off hand, is the Honor Cadet.  Whether it is the Fox Cities Honor Cadet, or the Class Honor Cadet, I'm not sure.

However, I would have to concur, image is the main key.  Like I said, I haven't checked it in a while, I just posted up the site to give an idea to captrncap.

WI has a good program, and I have no reason to doubt the Academy was an effective use of time, it just goes to show how important the details are.

Check your facts Lieutenant.

I had no part in that whatsoever.  If I had, that kid would've either ended up bald from a wicked Photoshopping or not have wound up there at all.

You know, I really wish National would develop standard curriculum for cadet programs training such as this.  Senior Member professional development courses get standardized curriculum, with all the training materials included -- student and instructor guides, death by powerpoint, and more.  If this can be done for CLC, SLS, UCC, etc., then I don't see one reason that this type of curriculum can't be developed for Cadet Programs courses such as NCO academy, Cadet Leadership School, etc.

It's all well and fine that there are a number of units (squadrons or wings) that have had the time and resources to develop an NCO academy for themselves and run it successfully.  However, not every unit has the ability to do that.

There needs to be a good NCO academy (and other CP-courses) put together, with a solid curriculum, and have it adopted by NHQ with binders and materials available through the same methods used for SM PD for CLC, SLS, etc.

hmmm, perhaps something for CACs to figure out.  A topic finally truly CP related... It's like my dream come true...

I agree 100%.

Without any comment as to exisitng programs, we've been concerned up this way regarding the same issue.

A respective unit CC, etc., decides to have an NCOA, and develops an independant curriculm likely w/o review.

Lliterally the CAP careers of younger attendees may be permanently affected, negatively or positively by these classes.

There should be a National curriculm.
