Virtual In-Residence Program
Virtual In-Residence Program (ViR)
What is Virtual In-Residence?
The Virtual In-Residence (ViR) program is one of the two "in-person" options for modules in Civil Air Patrol's Education and Training program. Virtual In-Residence provides members the opportunity to complete the moderated modules from home via a virtual classroom with an authorized Volunteer University Instructor.
Currently, the Virtual In-Residence program provides modules in Level 2, Level 3, Level 4, the Squadron Commanders Course (Level 3 Electives), and the Group Commanders Course (Level 4 Electives).
Please note that, though our classes are taught on virtual platforms, the Virtual In-Residence program does not use cohorts. Cohorts are only used by students taking online modules through Axis. Cohorts are NOT required for VIR classes. We cannot assist with questions about cohorts.
If you have questions regarding cohorts, contact your cohort instructor or the online chair for the level in which you are working.
