The SWR Staff College is held at Kirtland Air Force Base, NM, and is known for its excellence in curriculum and the high quality of instruction. Our cost is small compared to what companies pay for similar intense leadership emersion training. The intense week is literally filled with leadership learning experiences and fun-filled activities.
A superior facet of the college is the camaraderie among the students and staff. Many participants have found new friends and have developed bonds for life. One of the important parts of Civil Air Patrol is the networking done at Region and National activities. It allows members to meet new people and tap the vast knowledge of their fellow members. The Staff College gives you the chance to broaden who you know and often find out ways to build a better mousetrap!
This training is for all eligible senior CAP members. For those members on their way somewhere in their Civil Air Patrol achievements, this is the place to be!
UPCOMING CHANGES TO CAP PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM:
The new Civil Air Patrol Professional Development Program will roll out 4 August 2020. In order to be eligible to complete level 4 under the grandfather clause, you MUST have attended Region Staff College (RSC) prior to this date. You will then have 9 months to complete Level 4 under the current program. This is your last chance to get credit for RSC to qualify for the legacy program. More information regarding the program update can be found at the following link: https://www.gocivilairpatrol.com/members/cap-university/education-and-training
The discounted “early bird” registration fee is $95 until 15 May, at which point the price increases to $115 with a final deadline of 15 June. The registration fee includes all SWRSC activities as well as graduation banquet. Students and staff are required to stay on base. A two-room suite at the Air Force Inn on Kirtland AFB is $70 per night. The base dining facility costs less than $10 per day for all three meals combined.
