CIVILIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM (CES)<br />
CES is a progressive and sequential leader development program that provides<br />
enhanced <strong>education</strong>al opportunities for Army civilians throughout their careers. The<br />
program enables Army civilians to become multi-skilled agile leaders of the 21st<br />
century, who personify the Warrior Ethos in all aspects, from warfighting support, to<br />
statesmanship, to enterprise management.<br />
CES provides eight levels of civilian development:<br />
• Foundation Course<br />
• Basic Course (116 Continuous Learning Points (CLPs))<br />
• Intermediate Course (163 CLPs)<br />
• Advanced Course (269 CLPs)<br />
• Continuing Education for Senior Leaders (76 CLPs)<br />
• Action Officers Development Course (40 CLPs)<br />
• Supervisors Development Course (39 CLPs)<br />
• Managers Development Course (20 CLPs)<br />
The method of delivery is Distributed Learning (DL), resident instruction, or blended<br />
learning, which is a mixture of both DL and resident instruction.<br />
All supervisors (GS-13 and above) must completed the Advanced Course within 24<br />
months of accepting a supervisory position.<br />
CES is required to take Army/DOD Military Education Level 1 Course (i.e, Senior<br />
Service College, Harvard Senior Fellowship, etc.)<br />
The Foundation Course is designed for those entering the Army. Students will learn<br />
to understand and appreciate Army values and customs, serve professionally as<br />
members of the Department of the Army, acquire foundation competencies for leader<br />
development, develop effective communication skills, and be ready to assume a first<br />
leadership role.<br />
The Action Officer Development Course provides insight on how staff-level work is<br />
performed Armywide. It covers organization and management, executing completed<br />
staff work, managing time and priorities, conducting meetings and interviews, solving<br />
problems and making decisions, communications, writing to the Army standard,<br />
coordinating, conducting briefings, and ethics.<br />
The Basic Course (BC) is designed for those who exercise direct leadership. The<br />
BC provides basic leadership skills to effectively lead and care for small teams, apply<br />
effective communication skills, and develop and mentor subordinates.<br />
