WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio – Nominations are open now through Jan. 30, 2026 for the next cohort of the highly-competitive Department of the Air Force Acquisition Instructor Course.
The program is open to uniformed and civilian acquisition professionals from both the Air and Space Forces who are looking for an opportunity to improve their leadership, instructor skills, operational acquisition capabilities and program office integration skills. Class 26B will be held from July 6 to Dec. 12, 2026.
AQIC features cross-functional academics, experiential assignments, practical exercises and more to ensure students gain the skillsets to navigate and exploit acquisition policy in support of warfighter requirements. Students are in temporary duty status at Wright-Patterson AFB for the duration of the course, with extensive travel to various locations across the country.
Graduates are expected to contribute to the acquisition community and schoolhouse, with the opportunity to fill specific positions at diverse developmental levels throughout the Department. All graduates earn a Special Experience Identifier and incur a three-year service commitment.
Applicants must possess a final Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearance that is valid for the duration of the cohort.
