Cadet Test Banking

[Luis R. Ramos]

A cadet asked me about the possibility of taking tests ahead of her next achievement.

I remember reading this is allowed for one achievement ahead but cannot find the appropriate section in the regs. Can someone post me where to look?

I will tell her that testing ahead is allowed up to one achievement. So please CP Officers, tell me that is allowed.

CAPR 60-1, Page 24, § 5.4.1.6

"5.4.1.6. Accomplishing Academic Tasks. Cadets may complete academic tasks for their next
achievement and, if a milestone award does not intervene, the one after that. See Table 5.2 for
examples. In eServices, software automatically controls task banking, but if cadets test via hard
copy, local leaders need to manually enforce task banking rules."

What would be your views on teaching the Cadet Wingman class to one cadet via virtual setting? On the cadet programs page, it states this class can be delivered "or individually."

I'd make sure to include a couple of other cadets for both CPT and refresher, but no
reason it can't be done virtually, especially if completion is holding a cadet back.

Agreed; I did that and the new cadet got a better class by having an interaction with a couple of "experienced" cadets.  IIRC, I think one of the experienced cadets was the Cadet Commander.  Great idea, especially, as Eclipse notes, if this is holding back a cadet.
