Senior Officer Correspondence Course

The long awaited online replacement to AU A4/6 (formerly ECI-13) the CAP Officer’s Course is now in the testing process. The new course is shorter and more CAP specific. It is expected to hit the market for everyone in January and expected time to complete it is 90 to 120 days. For example if started in January it should be completed by early April or mid-May.

AU A4/6 is on administrative hold until 1 Oct (assuming congress passes the budget on time and funds are released. The budget is often late.) Currently they are not producing the course. It will take time to catch up on production. The course is sent out as educational material not first class mail which means it could take some time to get to the member. It would be optimistic to think they would get the materials in November. The material they get will be what it always has been and still takes lot of time to finish. A go-getter might get it done by June but remember 60% never even finish the course.

Members should wait for the new online course. However, if you need ECI-13 for promotion and cannot wait for the new course, contact your unit commander for instructions.
