Level II: The Learning Phase

Congratulations on completing Level 1 of the Senior Member Education and Training Program.  Welcome to Level 2.

Level 2 is focused on developing competencies for squadron and flight staff officers and developing squadron/flight-level staff officers in their role as leaders. Level 2 content is divided into “paths”, which are tailored to the prior experiences of members:

  • New (also called General) Path: Members who do not meet the requirements of the other paths

  • Professional Members: Professionals w/skills which make them eligible for advanced grade

  • Military Path: Current and Former military personnel

  • Cadet Path: Former Civil Air Patrol Cadets.

Level 2 is also divided into two parts:

  • Part 1, Which is required for promotions and many specialty tracks, is focused on broad skills such as uniforms, accountability, the chain of command and basic expectations of a squadron/flight officer.

  • Part 2, which expands on the basics, and introduces subjects such as communication in a professional setting, mentoring, and leadership development. 

Also at Level 2, many modules (classes) are required to be moderated (led by a Volunteer University Instructor).  Moderated modules may be taken Virtual In-Residence, in person, or as part of an online cohort.  You will also have access to the automated (self-paced) content in Axis upon completing Level 1.  Both the automated and moderated modules must be completed to complete the Level.

Members meeting the requirements below will receive the Benjamin O. Davis Award:

Requirements

  1. Complete all modules for your path. 

  2. Choose a Specialty and earn a Technician rating in that specialty.
