Evolution of the Education and Training Program

Senior Member Professional Development (CAPR 50-17) was replaced by CAP Senior Member Education and Training Program (CAPR 40-1). This means OBC, SLS, CLC, RSC, and NSC have all been replaced. The Unit Commander’s Course (UCC) has also been replaced. All of the new training is taught by the new Volunteer University (VolU).

In the new program courses are replaced by modules that are designed to take about one hour in the classroom. Some modules will have written assignments in addition to the classroom instruction. A new module in eServices located under Professional Development, Professional Levels, tracks your module and other requirement completion for each level.

All modules may be completed online in eServices by selecting Online Learning / Learning Management System / Absorb LMS. Online modules will either be automated or moderated (instructor graded). In order to take a moderated module online, you must go into the new Professional Levels software and request a cohort (small learning group). Moderated modules are worked at your convenience and reviewed by your instructors at their convenience. There are no mandatory meetings or schedules for online.

All modules may also be taken on-site (this includes face-to-face and virtual). You may mix and match how you take modules. Just because you start in one modality, you do not have to take all of your modules that way.

You must be certified in the new Volunteer University as an instructor to teach a module.
