NER Leadership Academy

When is the NER leadership academy, and isn't it a substitute for cadet officer school?

As far as I've seen and heard, no firm dates have been set up.  I have generally seen the dates being set up relatively late in the summer though. 

There is no substitute for actually going to and experiencing all of COS.  However, a Region Cadet Leadership School is considered an equivalent as one of the prequisites for the Eaker Award.  The others of course being COS and AFIDL 13.
