Upcoming TLC Classes
(updated 12Jul24)
Training Leaders of Cadets (TLC) Classes are the premier venue for Cadet Programs Officers to learn how to become better mentors of cadets and more effective managers of cadet squadrons. The Basic and Intermediate classes are a component of the Cadet Programs Officer Specialty Track. To foster collegial discussions among adult volunteers, cadets are prohibited from attending.
Topics include:
- Putting excitement into squadron meetings
- Getting cadets off to a Great Start
- Developing partnerships with parents
- Mentoring cadets to develop their potential
- Providing each cadet with a tailor-made challenge
STUDENT PREPARATION: Before attending any TLC classes (and to be sure to get credit), please invest about 45 minutes by completing the online modules in eServices > Online Learning > (but NOT AXIS))>Scroll down to Cadet Programs > Training Leaders of Cadets—Basic or Intermediate, depending which class you're taking. Or do both the Basic & Intermediate modules : -)
PLEASE NOTE: Graduation from TLC-Basic within the last 4 years is required for the Cadet Programs Technician Rating, the Command Technician Rating, and the Character Development Technician Rating. It also helps your unit earn the QCUA. Graduation from TLC-Intermediate is required for the Cadet Programs Senior Rating. There is a rare TLC-Advanced class, but it is typically offered only to Wing Directors of Cadet Programs. If you are interested in TLC-Advanced, please email the AKWG DCP.

Want to offer a class yourself?
If you have graduated from a TLC class, you may be eligible to help teach or coordinate a class at that level. In fact, helping teach any class is a requirement for Level 3 (Captain-level) and will greatly benefit the wing. You may help teach a class in person, virtually, or as a hybrid class. For more information on teaching a class, to find the curriculum, and for tips & tricks, go here: https://www.gocivilairpatrol.com/programs/cadets/cpofficer/tlc
