Training Leaders of Cadets is the premiere venue for Cadet Programs Officers to learn how to become better mentors of cadets and more effective managers of cadet squadrons. To foster collegial discussions among adult volunteers, cadets are prohibited from attending.
Explanation of Changes
The 2021 edition of the Training Leaders of Cadets course was revised to bring the TLC course up to date with the current CAP Cadet Program; much has changed since 2016 when the course was last edited. Some lessons do have substantial changes, to reflect the new program as well as feedback from the field, while others only required moderate or minor changes.
