ADL-13 ENROLLMENT:
The name has been changed to Officer Basic Course (OBC) and can
now be done online, but there is such an enormous demand that National is
now filling the July 2010 class. Members can still enroll through the normal AU
A4/56 channels until 1July 2010.
See the CAP University portion of the www.capmembers.com website
for details. If you are currently enrolled in the ADL-13, please continue your
studies. Their enrollment will continue normally and will expire 12 months from
the enrollment date, as usual. No new enrollments for ADL-13 for senior members should have been submitted after 21 Dec 09.
The three simple steps to enroll in the Officer Basic Course include:
1. Confirm your eligibility to enroll in OBC-Seniors must have completed
Level I. Cadets must have completed their Mitchell Award.
2. Ensure you have not completed ADL-13-If you have previously completed
ADL-13, members will be not accepted as students at this time in order to
accommodate all the members that need to complete this requirement.
3. Complete the OBC Enrollment Form found at:
