    As an instructor at the Army Management Staff College, I would love to see more CP26 careerists take advantage of the CES courses. First, your organization pays nothing for you to attend! The CES is funded by HQDA G-37/ Training Directorate for most permanent Army civilians, this includes (but not limited to) general schedule (GS), non- appropriated fund (NAF), local national (LN), and wage grade (WG) employees.

    Did you know that CES leadership courses are required for all Army Civilians? All CP26 careerists should include attendance at the CES course for which they are eligible in their Individual Development Plans (IDP). Army civilians are eligible to attend the CES courses at target grade levels: -GS-01 through GS-09, CES Basic Course; -GS-10 through GS-12, CES Intermediate Course; -GS-13 through GS-15, CES Advanced Course.

    All Army civilians hired after Sept. 30, 2006, are required to take the Distance Learning Foundation Course prior to enrolling in either of the other CES courses.

    So what are you waiting for? Your career beckons you to distinguish yourself as an Army leader! Enhance your career-long professional and leader development today!
