Have you taken non-traditional courses from AFIADL as a CAP member?

Many CAP members have taken the CAP-specific courses available through AFIADL and a few have taken the  AF Squadron Officer School or Air War College courses that can be incorporated into the upper levels of the CAP PD program.

However, I was curious if anyone has taken any of other AFIADL courses as a CAP member?

For example, there is a AF public affairs course (under specialized course) and also some PA courses under Career Development, a Historian course, chaplains assistant, and maybe others that would have some bearing on CAP operations and that apparently are open to CAP.   

Any problems with them?  Has anyone done them under the new test administration guidelines?

I took Air Command and Staff College.  It was quite a challenge.

I took fire fighter I and II

did you have to do anything with the practical portion to get credit, or did you still get a AFIADL course completion certificate for FFI & II....

how about the hazmat requirement?  did you need to do the awareness and ops also via AFIADL? or was it a non issue

I just took the two written exams. 

Since DOD now recognizes the major fire credentialing entities it is kind of moot

Is it possible to actually go to school there? I am also considering the military.sintenel.edu courses as well.

AFIADL courses are correspondence courses.

It is possible to do residence courses, but they must be done space-available at no cost to the government IAW the AF regulations on CAP.  I asked folks at NHQ about this at one point and they said that it is space A, so you don't really know if you're going to be in until the day-of.  So unless you're in Alabama in the case of AU courses there, it isn't practical.
