of areas. It is very beneficial

my career in the Defence
Forces."

"It was an absolutely great
course: I really enjoyed it. I
learnt a lot about manage-
ment and leadership on a
different scale and it has
given me the tools to go
forward in my career."

"With the outline of the
school to educate and
train the future NCOs and
Senior NCOs of the Defence
Forces, this course definitely
achieves that. It was very
good and gave us the knowl-
edge we need to go forward. The skills and
info I gained will be very beneficial to
my career."
sgt Alan O'Reilly - 27 inf bn, 2 bde
"The students on the course
corresponded very well
together, living up to the
course motto which was
'Strength through Unity'.
We received excellent briefs
at strategic levels which
helped our understanding from a mana-
gerial level. The exercises were realistic,
with timelines for casevacs, resupplies and
use of supporting arms being put to plan
perfectly. The option of a 3rd level degree
is a great progression for NCOs, addressing
middle-management issues."
sgt Mick Ahern - Air corps college
"It's definitely been a robust
course in academic and
tactical terms. The cama-
raderie on the course and
integration with others were
the strong points for me. I'd
definitely recommend the
course, but not for the faint hearted."
