Leader's Training Course

The Leader's Training Course is the Army's 2-year ROTC Program entry point. Through the Leader's Training Course, students without the ROTC Basic Course who are serious about a career as an Army officer can qualify for entry into the advanced course. The Army observes these students and determines their officer potential in a leadership oriented, challenging, and motivating 5-week training program at Fort Knox, Kentucky.

Students will have an opportunity to experience cadet and Army life first-hand. They will live, eat and work together in platoons consisting of approximately 40 cadets each. They will learn topics including Military Formations and Drill and Ceremony, Physical Training, Map Reading and Land Navigation, M-16 Rifle Marksmanship and other Weapons Familiarization. They will experience the esprit de corps of cross-platoon rivalry and competition, which will earn their platoon honors. Cadets will have a chance to bond from amongst a diverse group of people from hundreds of schools all over the nation.

Accelerated Cadet Commissioning Training

ACCT is an accelerated 2-year Advanced ROTC Program entry point in which the cadet enrolls in the advanced course. It is available to both non-scholarship and scholarship cadets. The cadet would be required to fulfill an additional 40 hours (flexibly scheduled) of individual training. This additional training substitutes for the ROTC basic course. This program is for college students who will be entering into their junior year during the fall semester and who did not take the ROTC Basic Course.

ACCT philosophy is based on an action-oriented training plan. Emphasis is hands on, outdoor training with rapid, constructive feedback to you. Above all else, ACCT is a leadership experience. The training program is designed to inspire you to become an outstanding leader with a sound understanding of traditional leadership values.
