2 Annex A Introduction HOUSEHOLD CAVALRY AND ROYAL ARMOURED CORPS 1. The Household Cavalry (HCav) and Royal Armoured Corps (RAC) attend Command Leadership and Management Training (CLM) in accordance with Army policy. Army CLM training and education (T&E), introduced in 2004, has been amended to reflect current operational needs resulting in several changes that impact on the delivery of courses for HCav & RAC soldiers. Rules for RAC employment training and promotion are shown at Annex A to the RAC Employment Structure 2011 dated Jan The revised CLM 2011 progression includes the following: a. The Potential NCO (PNCO) CLM package (now 8 days). PNCO CLM is the mandated requirement for HCav and RAC soldiers prior to substantive promotion to LCpl. b. A revised sequence of CLM training, with Arms and Service (A&S) CLM courses delivered first, followed (except for PNCO) by Induction and Functional Competence (replacing the workbook) and finally AEC T&E. c. The support of ETS Learning Development Officers (LDOs) based in AECs and available to support units and the chain of command (CofC) continues in planning and delivering training, and assessing the educational needs of soldiers. Method of Training Delivery 3. CLM training is mandatory at each level. It consists of 3 parts (less PNCO where only A&S delivered training is required) as follows: a. Part 1 - Substantiation T&E. Pre-employment training delivered under the control of A&S, either centrally within existing courses (such as the Junior NCO Comd Cse) or distributed within units (e.g. PNCO). Satisfactory completion of this element is required to qualify soldiers selected for promotion to substantive rank. b. Part 2a Workplace Induction. All soldiers are to complete induction training as described in Chapter One within 3 months of commencing employment in the selected rank, including acting rank.

6 CLM 2008 Policy Handbook v4 Chapter 5 Annex B ROYAL ARTILLERY Reference: A. Pam 101 Feb 12 INTRODUCTION 1. The aim of this annex is to explain the RA CLM programme for soldiers and NCOs that will attend CLM training in accordance with Army CLM policy. The annex outlines RA specific requirements. Readers unfamiliar with the CLM programme should read Ch 1 of this policy handbook before proceeding. Substantive promotion at any rank requiring CLM training will only be granted when the requirements of Ch 1 have been met. 2. RA CLM has embraced the Army CLM policy and has incorporated some RA pertinent key learning points to shape the soldier s education in line with the requirements of the RA. As the courses cover all the requirements of the Army CLM policy it is suitable for attendance by attached other Arms & Services (A&S) provided that any special-to-arm elements are met. All CLM, with exception of WO is conducted through distributed training. The WO course is held centrally at the Artillery Centre. 3. The diagram below shows progression through the 4 stages of CLM for a soldier s transition throughout their career from Gnr to WO2. CLM must be completed in the order: Parts (Pt) 1-3.

7 CLM 2008 Policy Handbook v4 Chapter 5 Annex B METHOD OF TRAINING AND DELIVERY 4. Course content. The course content is provided to give direction on the delivery of CLM part 1 courses and can be found on the Army Defence Intranet under RSA Distributed Trg by following the link at the bottom of this document. The implementation and delivery of the courses must be controlled by the OIC and 2IC nominated by the unit. This training is to be delivered in units by regimental staff and is to meet the requirement laid out by DTrg(A). Units must take note of the following: a. Scheduling. Units should notify RSA Inval (Distributed Training Team) of any planned courses giving dates, student numbers and numbers of places available to external units; preferably at least 2-3 months prior to the planned start date of their course. The RA CLM WO must be contacted to arrange a brief on current policy and to assist with requirements of running the Course. Contact details can be found below. b. Convening. Once the initial course documentation has been received and verified, RSA INVAL (Dist Trg) will provide authorisation to run the course and supply an INVAL Pack for the course. This documentation must be sent to RSA INVAL (Dist Trg) no later than 21 days before the course start date. Training must not commence without authorisation. Documents can be found at the link below. c. Course loading. Course loading is a unit responsibility, maximum of 40 students with an instructor ratio of 1:8 for P/JNCO. d. Delivery. Unit programmes are to follow the ISPECs relevant to their course. Unit instructors must meet mandated instructor requirements as per Pam 101. e. Course results. Course report requirements can be found in Ch 2 of CLM policy and on successful completion units are to retain records of every student s performance for at least 2 years. Any remediation requirements must be completed within 12 months, less for those who are graded not yet competent (NYC) in the Command and Lead element EO 1, who are deemed to have failed the course and are to attend another course. On completion of a course the unit is to provide a nominal roll of students and course results including the INVAL pack and Annex D to RSA INVAL, Artillery Centre. 5. PNCO and JNCO CLM. PNCO and JNCO CLM have effectively taken the place of the LBdr and Bdr Leadership courses respectively. The courses focus on theoretical command principles and the practical application of these principles during a mixture of classroom based instruction and Infantry based field exercises. Regiments can convene both NCO courses through RSA INVAL as required, with a maximum loading of 40 students per course, providing there is a minimum ratio of 1:8 instructor to students. The courses are designed to develop the leadership qualities of our Gnrs and LBdrs in all conditions. a. PNCO. The PNCO course is a stand alone package after which the newly promoted LBdr will be CLM complete and hold substantive rank. The individual is to undertake induction (Pt 2) in unit, in accordance with Ch 1 of this policy. In addition to this the OIC is to ensure that where testing or assessments are to be carried out there are sufficient resources and time to enable all students to be assessed equally. b. JNCO. On completion of the JNCO course the successful student is eligible for promotion to substantive Bdr. On assuming appointment in the rank of Bdr, the Chapter 5 Annex B 5-B-2 Vers 4.0 Nov 2013

17 Annex D INTRODUCTION INFANTRY CLM 1. The aim of this Annex is to outline the Infantry CLM programme. 2. The Infantry CLM training requirements are managed and co-ordinated by the Distributed Training Cell (DTC), which is part of Capability Directorate Combat. It is responsible for PNCO and CLM Part 1, which is comprised of Infantry pre-employment training requirements. Overall responsibility for CLM Part 2 rests with the Chain of Command with individual supervision being undertaken by the 1 st RO. 3. The diagram below illustrates the Infantry CLM progression concept: PNCO CLM Cse (Unit) JNCO CLM Part 1 (Unit) JNCO CLM Part 3 (AEC) SNCO CLM Part 1 (Unit) SNCO CLM Part 3 (AEC) WO CLM Part 1 (IBS) WO CLM Part 3 (AEC) Pte LCpl Cpl Sgt CSgt WO2 WO1 Career Stage 1 Career Stage 2 Career Stage 3 Career Stage 4 Key Rank (Appointment) Substantiation Training Workplace Induction Professional Development 4. Key points to note with the Infantry CLM progression concept are: a. Each Capability Directorate delivers CLM in a different way depending upon other available courses that can be integrated into the respective CLM courses. b. Due to the variety of Infantry career paths after promotion to LCpl the Capability Directorate CLM training requirements cannot be covered in one course such as SCBC or PSBC. The majority of dismounted close combat training objectives are covered during the PNCO Cadre which is mandatory for all Infanteers selected for promotion to LCpl. However, there is now a requirement for all SNCOs to undertake Basic Close Combat Skills (BCCS) trg. This is an extra two day package that all units must cover on their SNCO CLM courses unless attendees have completed any of the following courses: i. PSBC. ii. Mortar Advanced. Chapter 5 Annex D 5-D-1 Version 4.0 July 2014

18 Annex D iii. FSG Multiple Comd. If SNCO CLM course officers require further clarification on any other courses that they believe will fulfil the BCCS requirement they are to contact the SO3 DTC (94381 Ext 2720). c. To ensure that all course students can fulfil the SNCO CLM BCCS training requirement they are to obtain a Fit for Course Certificate (FFC) from an MO or CMP as detailed in Annex J to Chapter 1. d. All Line Managers are to conduct the Part 2A Induction process in accordance with Reference E at Chapter 1 General Policy. See Para 10 below. e. The transitional arrangements are clearly articulated at para 13. METHOD OF DELIVERY 5. Warrant Officer (WO) CLM Part 1 (IWOC) is delivered centrally at the Infantry Battle School. CLM Part 1 for PNCOs, JNCOs and SNCOs is delivered via distributed training. The DTC is responsible for the design and development of these courses (less for the IWOC). On behalf of the Director Capability Directorate Combat the DTC has the authority to audit and validate these courses in order to ensure compliance to the training requirements stipulated in the Course Training Plans (CTPs). 6. PNCO CLM. The pan-army PNCO CLM elements are embedded into the Infantry PNCO Cadre. This 36 day training package will be delivered either by Infantry battalions or Divisional Training Teams. Where available, ETS Learning and Development Officers (LDOs) supporting respective battalions will provide support and advice on the requirements for Literacy and Numeracy. The PNCO CLM course will focus on theoretical command principles and the practical application of them by using a blend of classroom based instruction and Infantry field exercises. The course is designed to develop the leadership qualities of soldiers both in barracks and whilst under operational conditions. A copy of the CTP for the course can be found in the British Army electronic Battle Box under Infantry Distributed Training. 7. JNCO CLM (Part 1). JNCO CLM (Part 1) is a 3 day training package designed to build upon the foundation from the training objectives covered in PNCO CLM. JNCO CLM Part 1 training, which will be delivered by Infantry battalions, is predominantly classroom based. Part 2 is to be completed prior to attending JNCO CLM Part 3 (AEC delivered element). A copy of the CTP for the course can be found in the British Army electronics Battle box under Infantry Distributed Training. 8. SNCO CLM (Part 1). SNCO CLM (Part 1) is a 9 day distributed training package. It is focused towards regimental ethos and the command of soldiers in barracks and on operations. However, as highlighted at Para 4b above, there is now the requirement for all SNCOs to undertake BCCS trg, unless the respective TOs have been completed on other career courses. Part 2 is to be completed prior to attending SNCO CLM Part 3 (AEC delivered element). A copy of the CTP for the course can be found in the British Army electronics Battle box under Infantry Distributed Training. 9. WO CLM (Part 1). The Infantry WO CLM Course (IWOC) is a 5 day training package delivered at the Infantry Battle School. It is entirely classroom based and includes Infantry orientated scenarios and confirmatory exercises. The foundation and attitude of the course is based on a strong regimental ethos and the command of soldiers both in barracks and on operations Part 2 is to be completed prior to attending WO CLM Part 3 (AEC delivered element). Chapter 5 Annex D 5-D-2 Version 4.0 Jan 2014

23 CLM 2014 Policy Handbook Chapter 5 Annex E ROYAL SIGNALS & QUEEN S GURKHA SIGNALS 1. Introduction. R SIGNALS 1 Part 1 CLM training consists of all requirements directed through Army policy with additional elements required by R SIGNALS to train and develop its NCO cadre. This policy annex is not designed to repeat main body content and must be read in conjunction with the main document to gain a full understanding of R SIGNALS Part 1 CLM. 2. Criteria and selection for attendance. Soldiers selected for promotion are to pass the appropriate R SIGNALS Part 1 CLM Course within 12 2 months of selection, or 6 3 months from leaving Phase 2 Trg for CS Eng and EW Sys Op. All soldiers attending a CLM course are required to meet the entry standards stated in Chapter 1 Annexs A-D. Soldiers that do not meet these standards are not permitted to start a course. a. PNCO, JNCO, SNCO. An 8 mile weighted march (15Kg load) will be conducted on the first day of all R SIGNALS Part 1 PNCO, JNCO and SNCO CLM courses. This must be completed successfully to demonstrate students have the basic fitness standard required to complete the physical elements of the course safely. Students who do not complete this will not be allowed to continue CLM training as they risk injury to themselves and others, non-completion will count as an attempt at CLM within the 12 month period. b. PNCO. Training Objective (TO) 5 of the PNCO course is Communicate Effectively with Peers, Subordinates and Seniors. This matches training delivered through the Army Apprenticeship scheme. Soldiers attending PNCO must have completed this TO prior to attendance; through either the Army Apprenticeship Scheme or through unit supervised online training. Access to this training is available through 4 (Mil Trg) Sqn, 11 (RSS) Sig Regt. 3. Training delivery a. PNCO CLM. 4 (Mil Trg) Sqn, 11 (RSS) Sig Regt on behalf of the Defence School of Communications and Information Systems (DSCIS) and R SIGNALS Distributed Training Units (DTU) 4. b. JNCO, SNCO and WO CLM. 4 (Mil Trg) Sqn, 11 (RSS) Sig Regt on behalf of DSCIS. 4. Course loading a. PNCO CLM. Course loading is undertaken by DSCIS course loading cell for 4 Sqn delivered courses and CD Info Trg Group for distributed courses. Course loading lists will be distributed 2 weeks after the Sig to LCpl promotion board is released. On receipt, units are to check attendance dates for all soldiers and confirm with CD Info Trg Group. Soldiers unable to attend the initial course allocated will be switched to a more suitable course. In exceptional circumstances, Signallers not yet selected for promotion may be loaded onto PNCO CLM courses in order to increase course loading and to benefit the soldier 5. b. JNCO, SNCO and WO CLM. Course loading is completed by R SIGNALS Soldiers Section in conjunction with the DSCIS Course Admin. A minimum of two places on each WO CLM course are assigned for Reserve Soldiers. Soldiers selected for Supervisory 1 For the purpose of this annex, R SIGNALS includes Queen s Gurkha Signals. 2 See Chapter 1, para See Chapter 1, annex A, para ADSR (Herford), 2 Sig Regt (York), 3 DSR (Bulford), 16 Sig Regt (Elmpt), 14 Sig Regt (EW) (Brawdy), 21 Sig Regt (Colerne), 22 Sig Regt (Stafford), 30 Sig Regt (Bramcote). 5 These Signallers should be recommended for promotion in their last SJAR. Chapter 5 Annex E 5-E-1 8 Sep 14

24 CLM 2014 Policy Handbook Chapter 5 Annex E training should be automatically granted 1A loading priority through APC to ensure they can complete all CLM requirements prior to Spvr cse attendance. 5. Joining Instructions. Joining Instructions (JI) are to be issued by DSCIS course loading cell or the relevant DTU 6 weeks prior to course commencement. Soldiers who fail to present the correct documentation required by the JIs at the start of the course will be subject to RTU. 6. Assessment and reporting. The Army policy on assessment and reporting is at chapter 2; this annex supplements that policy. R SIGNALS CLM course reports should be produced by training deliverers within 7 days of the end of course. Reports are to be sent to each soldier s parent unit. A course nominal roll, a list of those who failed to attend and their parent units and individual grading should be sent to CD Info Trg Group and R SIGNALS Soldier Section within 7 days of the end of each course. Report formats are to conform to 4 (Mil Trg) Sqn templates. 7. Failure policy. Soldiers that fail to complete R SIGNALS Part 1 CLM course critical enabling objectives 6 (EO) for any reason, including injury or absence, will be graded Not Yet Competent (NYC). To achieve a pass they must re-attend the full CLM course and be graded Competent. R SIGNALS soldiers are entitled to one attempt to complete CLM Part 1 within one year of being promoted to acting rank. Further attempts within the initial year of a soldier s original selection for promotion will only be authorised where: a. A course place is available as determined by R SIGNALS Soldier s Section, and b. A further attempt is recommended by the soldier s Commanding Officer. If graded NYC or having failed to attempt CLM within one year, soldiers can expect to be reverted in rank; they will then need to be re-selected for promotion on a subsequent board and begin the process again. 8. Remediation. Soldiers who fail R SIGNALS Part 1 CLM are to be given a training remediation plan by the training deliverer. This plan is to be carried out by parent units before the soldier can re-attempt the course. Soldiers must report with the completed plan paperwork should they be granted a further attempt at CLM in year. Soldier s who are deemed weak in non-critical areas of CLM will be given advice on suggested remedial action through their course report. 9. Recording training a. DTU PNCO CLM. Parent units are responsible for recording CLM competency on JPA on receipt of course reports. b. DSCIS PNCO, JNCO, SNCO and WO CLM. DSCIS are responsible for recording CLM competency at the completion of courses. R SIGNALS Part 1 CLM Course descriptions 10. PNCO CLM. The R SIGNALS PNCO CLM course is 2 weeks long and is delivered as distributed training at seven DTU and by DSCIS 7. The course structure and content is the same for both courses and is owned and distributed through 4 Sqn. DTUs are to ensure that courses are delivered in accordance with DTrg(A) policy and following 4 (Mil Trg) Sqn direction. a. Finance. Parent units are responsible for travel and subsistence (T&S) for their soldiers where applicable. Training deliverers are responsible for Blenheim action to resource courses. 6 Appendix 1 to Annex A to Chapter 1. 7 This course is normally for Comm Sys Eng and EW Sys Op nearing the end of PH2 training.

26 Annex F Introduction ARMY AIR CORPS 1. The aim of this annex is to explain the AAC CLM programme and to identify where AAC Special to Arm (STA) policy differs from the pan-army policy as stipulated in Chapter 1. In all instances it should be noted that CLM is training for role and not promotion. Method of training delivery 2. AAC Soldier Career Progression. Figure 1 is the AAC amended version of the CLM 2011 training pipeline. Figure 1: AAC CLM Training 3. PNCO CLM. Training for all AAC airtroopers selected for promotion to lance corporal will be delivered in units as a stand-alone course that consists of the pan-army training requirement set in an AAC context. Each AAC Regt will be expected to conduct one course per year, which can be attended by airtroopers from other units if required. The PNCO course may also be delivered at AACen if demand and circumstances require. AAC PNCO CLM is to resourced from within unit, an instructor from C&LT within 668 (Trg) Sqn is to assist delivery units, providing standardisation and assurance to the training delivered. No minimum loading applies, as well as having no MLD capacity; individuals are to be deferred until MFD. 4. JNCO CLM. The pan-army training requirement for all AAC lance corporals selected for promotion to the rank of corporal has been incorporated into the 20 day AAC JNCO Command Course (formerly the Aviation Detachment Commanders Course). It will be delivered by the Command and Leadership Team (C&LT) within 668 (Trg) Sqn AAC, AACen, Middle Wallop. The course focuses on practical command in the field and military skills but is supported by classroom work. The course will be run twice a year with a maximum capacity of 24. It also has a minimum loading of 8 MFD soldiers and a maximum of 8 non-mfd soldiers per course. 5. SNCO CLM. The SNCO CLM training requirement for all AAC corporals selected for promotion to the rank of sergeant has been incorporated into the 17 day AAC SNCO Command Course (formerly the Aviation Senior Command Course). The course will be delivered by the C&LT within 668 (Trg) Sqn AAC at AACen and will consist of classroom-based lessons and practical command opportunities under exercise conditions, in the field. Students will require to complete Chapter 5 Annex F 5- F- 1 Version 3.0 July 2011

27 Annex F the Key Logistics Messages training and assessment package on the DLP, following the course, to be eligible for subsequent promotion. The SNCO Command Course will run twice a year with a maximum loading of 20 students per course. It also has a minimum loading of 8 MFD soldiers, and a maximum of 8 non-mfd soldiers per course. DIT will still be required for students attending the AAC SNCO Command Course. 6. WO CLM. The WO CLM training requirement, for those selected for promotion to the rank of warrant officer, will be delivered on the 5 day AAC WO Command Course. The course will be delivered by the C&LT within 668 (Trg) Sqn AAC at AACen and is classroom based. The WO Command Course will be run 3 times a year with a course loading of 10, with no medical requirement for attendance. Selection Loading and Entry Standards 7. Course entry standards. In addition to the standards specified in Annexes A to F of Chapter 1, the successful completion of an ACMT (SA80), 12 months prior to the end of course date, is required prior to attendance on the AAC JNCO CLM Course. 8. Minimum medical fitness requirement. The minimum medical fitness requirement to attend and complete all aspects of the AAC delivered PNCO, JNCO and SNCO CLM courses is PULHEEMS Employment Standard (PES); P2 (MFD) and is explained in Annex J to Chap 1. Individuals with medical categories other than P2 (MFD) are to complete an MLD questionnaire available on the AACen website in the Army Aviation Compendium of Training Policies. Questionnaires submitted to AACen within 3 months of the start of the course will not be accepted and the individual will be loaded onto the subsequent course. This will give the individual the best opportunity to be P2 (MFD) categorised. Individuals whose questionnaires state they are unable to complete the critical tasks will not be loaded onto the course 1. There is no minimum medical fitness requirement for AAC WO CLM. 9. PNCO CLM attendance. The priority for attendance on the PNCO course is to be given to airtroopers that have been selected for promotion. Individuals that have been recommended but not selected for promotion may attend on a fill-up basis. The PNCO course is not to be used as a selection criterion. 10. Priorities on the CLM courses. In the case of an over-subscribed CLM course, the AAC MS Sldrs Cbt will determine the priorities for course loading. Priority is to be given to those individuals closest to filling an appointment on promotion. In the case of an undersubscribed course, priority 1 will be given top individuals selected for promotion and priority 2 for individuals selected for promotion 2. AAC MS Sldrs Cbt will prioritise those individuals now eligible to attend CLM courses. 11. Loading. Bids for the AAC delivered phase of the JNCO, SNCO and the WO CLM are to be sent to SO3 Trg Coord, AACen for course loading. Airtroopers are normally expected to attend the PNCO course within their own unit; however there will be occasions when individuals from other units will be required to attend these courses. The unit delivering the PNCO CLM training is to request clearance to conduct the course from HQ AAC TDT, and is then responsible for loading the course. CLM Training for non- MFD Soldiers. 12. Before units apply for courses for a soldier who has a category other than P2, Medically Fully Deployable, units are to comply with Annex J to Chapter 1. Units are to submit a fit to attend certificate for all soldiers other than MFD, signed by the unit CO/OC, RMO, Trg Offr, APTCI stating 1 HQAAC/44/023 Policy on attendance for AAC CLM course for MLD personnel dated 24 May HQ AAC/44/036 Policy on attendance on CLM (part 1) courses for individuals recommended for promotion dated 23 Jun 10. Chapter 5 Annex F 5- F- 2 Version 3.0 July 2011

28 Annex F limitations of individual s participation and currency for MATTs. Non-MFD soldiers also need to fill out the MLD questionnaire as stated in para 8. Soldiers who do not meet the minimum medical fitness requirement to undertake BCCS are to be deferred. Assessment, reporting and remediation 13. Pass / Fail Policy. There are two critical training tasks within PNCO and JNCO CLM: Values and Standards assessed in EO 1.1 and Lead Basic Close Combat Skills (BCCS) assessed through EO 1.4 of Training Objective 1 (Command and Lead). Both must be successfully completed by an individual before substantive promotion can be awarded. Substantive rank will be awarded on achievement of competence in EO 1.1 and EO 1.4 and backdated to the date the individual was granted acting rank. This must occur within 12 months of this date or the soldier will revert to his/her substantive rank, be considered no longer selected for promotion, and may be reassigned accordingly. Candidates within SNCO CLM are to successfully complete EO 1.1 and Aviation Senior Command Course EO 11, Lead a Multiple as a Corps critical training task, before substantive promotion is awarded. There are no critical tasks within WO CLM. 14. Remediation PNCO and JNCO. Individuals who are not successful in completing JNCO CLM EO 1.4 will be graded amber, be given a remediation package to undertake prior to reattendance on course and will then be required to successfully repeat only EO 1.4 within the STA Phase before the award of substantive rank. Individuals who fail to achieve EO1.4 on a second attempt will have to attend the full CLM Part 1 course 3. For Amber grades given for unsuccessful completion of other EOs and TOs, the student will receive a remediation plan and re-assessment will take place during the unit induction phase. The STA Course Director is to endorse any unit reassessment. Unsuccessful candidates failing to achieve EO 1.1 will be required to carry out remediation in unit and subsequently signed off by the Commanding Officer, before being awarded substantive rank. 15. Remediation SNCO. Individuals who are not successful in completing SNCO EO 11 will be graded amber, be given a remediation package to undertake prior to re-attendance on course and will then be required to attend the full CLM Part 1 course. For Amber grades given for unsuccessful completion of other EOs and TOs, the student will receive a remediation plan and reassessment will take place during the unit induction phase. The STA Course Director is to endorse any unit re-assessment. Unsuccessful candidates failing to achieve EO 1.1 will be required to carry out remediation in unit and subsequently signed off by the Commanding Officer, before being awarded substantive rank. 16. Reports. Detailed course reports containing a pen-picture of student s performances are to be produced within 5 days of the end of the course. There is no requirement for these reports to sit on CR books. Extensions 17. Application for extension process. Units are to inform AAC MS Sldrs Cbt as soon as they are aware of any individual who is unlikely to complete the STA phase of CLM within 12 months of being awarded acting rank. A formal extension is to be requested, giving full justification that details the reasons why the training could not be completed. Col MS Sldrs Cbt will consider requests on an individual basis. If an extension is not granted the individual will revert to his/her substantive rank and could be removed from post. Army Pilot Course 18. All soldiers, whether AAC or Other Arm, must have successfully completed all 3 phases of JNCO CLM prior to attendance on APC. Non AAC lance corporals, who have been recommended 3 HQ AAC/44/023 Policy on re-attendance for AAC CLM courses dated 26 May 10. Chapter 5 Annex F 5- F- 3 Version 3.0 July 2011

29 Annex F for promotion and accepted to attend the APC, can attend a JNCO CLM, delivered by their own A&S. 19. Acting sergeant rank will be granted on award of Wings. Non-AAC personnel transfer to the AAC on completion of Conversion to Type. 20. Wherever possible SNCO CLM should be completed within 12 months of award of acting rank. However, as a result of the requirement to complete other aircrew training after APC, and the probability of deployment soon after training, aircrew will be required to complete the STA SNCO CLM course within 24 months of being awarded acting rank. Substantive rank will be awarded on achievement of competence of EO1.4 of TO1 (Command and Lead) and backdated to the date the individual was granted acting rank as long as this occurs within the 24 month period. Failure to complete this training successfully within 24 months will result in the soldier reverting to his/her substantive rank. Once the SNCO CLM course is passed substantive rank from the completion of that course will then be awarded. Transferees 21. Transferees into the AAC will be considered on an individual basis. HQ AAC Development Training Branch will map training already completed, thus identifying the training gap and determining any additional training requirements. Points of Contact 22. The following points of contact for AAC CLM issues are: Field Appointment Tel No Policy SO2 Training Policy, HQ AAC Policy SO2 TDA, HQ AAC Training Delivery SO2 Ground Training, AACen Training Delivery Training Major, 2 (Trg) Regt AAC Training Delivery Training Clerk, AACen Career Management SO2 MS Soldiers Combat, APC Career Management SO3 MS Soldiers Combat, APC Chapter 5 Annex F 5- F- 4 Version 3.0 July 2011

30 Annex G ROYAL LOGISTIC CORPS Introduction 1. Royal Logistic Corps (RLC) soldiers, NCOs and WOs will attend CLM training in accordance with Army CLM policy, which is routinely adjusted to reflect current operational needs. The aim of this Annex is to outline RLC specific requirements. 2. The diagram below illustrates the RLC CLM progression concept: Figure All RLC soldiers and NCOs, whether serving at E1 or E2 employment, are to complete the RLC CLM courses. This ensures continuity of training across the capbadge. 4. RLC soldiers and NCOs must successfully pass all TOs on the RLC CLM Part 1 course within their promotion year, or for NCOs selected from the Merit List, within 12 months from the date of their selection. 1 NCOs may be granted acting rank prior to completion of their RLC CLM Part 1 course but will revert to their substantive rank if not CLM Part 1 qualified within the requisite timeframe. Where, in exceptional circumstances, an NCO has failed to complete CLM Part 1 training within the timeframe, an extension to the qualifying period may be granted by APC SO1 Sldrs CSS RLC. Units are to staff individual cases to SO2 MS Sldrs CSS RLC for consideration. Training Delivery 5. General. The CLM programme provides generic CLM training and education (T&E) for all soldiers on promotion to lance corporal, corporal, sergeant and WO2. Generic Operational Performance Statements (OPS), for Potential NCO (PNCO), JNCO, SNCO and WOs, describe the generic tasks that must be performed by soldiers at a given rank. The OPS also specifies the conditions under which the tasks will be undertaken, and the standards that must be achieved. 6. Aim. The aim of CLM T&E is to develop NCOs and WOs capable of executing effective command, leadership and management in all conditions, to be role models for their subordinates, and contribute to team ethos and operational effectiveness. CLM consists of 3 parts at each level (less PNCO where only Part 1 is required): 1 Substantive rank is applicable following successful completion of the requisite RLC CLM course. Successful completion of Part 2 and Part 3 (Professional Development) is a pre-requisite for eligibility for subsequent promotion. Chapter 5 Annex G 5-G-1 Version 4.0 Sep 13

37 Annex H Introduction ARMY MEDICAL SERVICES 1. This Annex specifies where Army Medical Services (AMS) policy for CLM differs from the generic policy set out in the main body of this CLM Policy Handbook. Current information is contained within the policy document for AMS soldier promotions 1. Method of Training Delivery 2. PNCO CLM. PNCO CLM will be delivered on a distributed basis by AMS Fd Army units. It is expected that every Med Regt, MWD Regt and Fd Hosp will deliver at least one PNCO CLM course per annum. Students will be allocated to courses in conjunction with AMS Div direction and courses will run until the end of the promotion year; as at 30 Sep annually. 3. JNCO, SNCO and WO CLM. As in previous years, the army s requirement for JNCO, SNCO and WO CLM is encapsulated within the Military Qualification Courses (MQC); Junior MQC (JMQC), Senior MQC (SMQC) and Warrant Officer MQC (WOMQC) respectively. The courses continue to be run at the Defence School of Medical Technical Training (DSMTT), Keogh Bks. Details of the MQCs are as follows: a. JMQC. The aim of the JMQC is to develop and assess the knowledge and skills of LCpls in order to fulfil the role of a JNCO in the AMS. The course is 4 weeks in duration. b. SMQC. The aim of the SMQC is to develop and assess the knowledge and skills of a JNCO in order to fulfil the role of a SNCO in the AMS. The course is 3 weeks in duration. c. WOMQC. The aim of the WOMQC is to develop and assess the knowledge and skills of a SNCO in order to fulfil the role of a WO in the AMS. The course is 1 week in duration. Selection and Loading 4. PNCO CLM. Only those Pte soldiers who are eligible or have been selected for promotion to LCpl should attend PNCO CLM courses. Soldiers will be loaded onto a PNCO CLM course at their own unit 2 or, where this is not possible, the nearest PNCO CLM course to their location. In exceptional circumstances, AMS soldiers may attend PNCO CLM courses run by other A&SDs. All Training Officers are requested to liaise with AMS Div in order to update any course nominal rolls in preparation for onward distribution of joining instructions for students loaded from outside of their unit. The loading of AMS personnel is as follows: Serial (a) Month (b) Action (c) 1. Mar AMD issues calling notice to units for potential dates for the following two training years. 2. Jun AMS Div confirms dates with HQ AMD to ensure course numbers meet the demand for projected number of eligible individuals. 3. Oct Promotion board sits. AMS Div loads courses and issues drafts to Units to confirm availability of students. Courses run for next 12 months, results forwarded to AMS Div with an internal validation forwarded to HQ AMD. 1 DGPL 01/08 dated 8 May 08 2 All RAVC personnel will be loaded onto the same course run by 1 MWD Regt if possible. Chapter 5 Annex H 5-H-1 Version 3 July 2011

38 Annex H 5. MQCs. Attendance on MQCs is mandatory for AMS NCOs who have been selected for promotion. Loading for the JMQC, SMQC and WOMQC is done by AMS Div. 6. Joining Instructions. Joining instructions for both the PNCO CLM courses and the MQCs will be issued a minimum of five weeks prior to attendance. COs are to ensure that candidates are given adequate assistance to accomplish the pre-course work and to ensure that all individuals are up to the pre-course standards required for the course. 7. Transferees. Those sldrs who transfer into the AMS will be expected to attend the relevant PNCO CLM cse or MQCs commensurate with their rank. Exemptions to this policy may be granted by AMS Div and will be dependent on the individual s qualifications and previous experience; any exemption does not constitute a precedent and each case will be dealt with on its merits. Entry Standards and Non-Full Deployability (FD) Policy 8. All AMS personnel, irrespective of their PULHHEEMS Employment Standard (PES), are eligible to attend PNCO CLM and the MQCs provided they can meet the fitness requirement specified in Annex J to Chapter 1. Those who cannot meet the standard will be deferred. Soldiers may only be granted exemption from completion of BCCS on the authority of DM(A); staffing of such applications is to be undertaken by AMS Div. Linkage to Substantive Rank 09. PNCO CLM. PNCO CLM is mandatory for promotion to substantive LCpl from 1 Oct 08. Certain AMS CEGs 3 are exempt due to their extended Phase 2 trg and their timed promotion to LCpl. The authoritative policy document for these exemptions is DGPL 01/ JNCO CLM. A pass at JMQC, which covers the requirements for JNCO CLM, is required for promotion to substantive Cpl. 11. SNCO CLM. A pass at SMQC, which covers the requirements for SNCO CLM, is required for promotion to substantive Sgt. 12. WO CLM. A pass at WOMQC, which covers the requirements for WO CLM, is required for promotion to substantive WO2. Withdrawal and Returned to Unit (RTU) 13. Withdrawal. AMS Div has the sole authority for the withdrawal of sldrs from CLM courses. Units that wish to withdraw a student from a specific course should liaise with the appropriate AMS Div contact from the list below. 14. RTU. AMS Fd Army units that deliver PNCO CLM courses should have an RTU policy. Personnel who are RTU will have their case reviewed by AMS Div. AMS Div will subsequently specify the time scale for re-attendance. Assessment, Reporting and Remediation 15. Assessment, reporting and remediation of all CLM courses will be conducted in accordance with the policy set out in Chapter 2 of the CLM Policy Handbook. COs are to take an active interest in the remediation plans of those under their command. 3 The following CEGs are exempt PNCO training: Biomedical Scientists, Clinical Physiologists, Dental Hygienists Radiographers and Registered Nurses Chapter 5 Annex H 5-H-2 Version 3 July 2011

40 Annex I Introduction ROYAL ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERS 1. The rules pertaining to the promotion of REME soldiers are set out in Corps Instruction E6 1. This Annex provides detail, by exception, of how the REME CLM Programme execution differs from the generic. Readers unfamiliar with the CLM Programme should read Chapter 1 before proceeding. Substantive promotion at any rank requiring CLM training will only be granted when the requirements of Chapter 1 have been met. Target Population 2. All REME Craftsmen, Lance-corporals, Corporals and Staff Sergeants selected for promotion are to complete CLM training. REME soldiers selected for Artificer training must complete the REME SNCO CLM course prior to Artificer course loading. Method of Training Delivery Entry Standards 3. Army policy clearly identifies physical fitness as an indispensable aspect of leadership that is essential to the day to day effectiveness and combat readiness of the Army. Unit commanders are to ensure soldiers attending a REME PNCO, JNCO, SNCO or WOs 2 CLM Part 1 Course are aware that a PFA is conducted prior to the course commencement. This assessment must be completed successfully in order to demonstrate personal commitment to a culture of physical fitness and to maintaining and delivering Values and Standards in accordance with EO 1.1. PFA failures will remain on course but be deemed as At Risk until they have undertaken a further assessment at the 7 day period. Any subsequent failures will, at the discretion of the course director, result in the individual being Returned to Unit (RTU). A remediation plan will be produced for all RTU candidates, this will require the individual to return and complete the remainder of the course at a later date. REME formation level commanders will also receive feedback on REME STA CLM Part 1 courses attended by soldiers within their AO. Method of Training Delivery 4. Course Schedule Plan. CD CSS (ES) will direct Div ES Branches 3 on the number of course places they are to provide in the forthcoming training year. ES Branches are to publish their planned courses annually in Jan for the commencing training year and are to show host unit and points of contact as appropriate. CD CSS (ES) will coordinate this activity and publish consolidated course schedules on the REME intranet website. 5. Delivery. WO CLM, SCLM and TS Spec JNCO CLM courses will be centrally delivered by the REME AS. All other CLM courses will be delivered as distributed training by REME units. Courses are not to exceed 40 students per course.

44 Annex J Introduction ADJUTANT GENERAL S CORPS (STAFF & PERSONNEL SUPPORT) 1. D Pers Admin is the Training Requirements Authority (TRA) for AGC(SPS) soldier career courses and determines the A&S element of the CLM programme of which there are 4 levels: PNCO, JNCO, SNCO and WO. Training Objectives (TOs) are progressive, building on experience gained by AGC(SPS) soldiers in RAO or Staff HQ assignments. 2. A&S CLM complements the other elements of CLM programmes, specifically those provided through Unit Induction and Professional Development in Army Education Centres (AEC). Selection and loading for the AEC element is explained separately in Chapter 1. Method of training delivery 3. The A&S element of CLM for AGC(SPS) soldiers is delivered centrally at the Personnel Administration Training Wing (PATW) in Worthy Down as CLM Part 1 (Substantiation) training: a. PNCO CLM. b. JNCO CLM Part 1. c. SNCO CLM Part 1. d. WO CLM Part CLM Part 1 (A&S) training combines classroom-based training with training delivered under field conditions 1. All course Training Objectives are contained in Chapter 1 of the CLM Handbook. Selection and loading 5. Entry standards. Prior to attendance on AGC(SPS) A&S CLM courses, soldiers must satisfy the following entry standards: a. Functional Skills. From 1 Apr 14, the appropriate literacy and numeracy qualifications will be used as a filter in the selection for promotion process. Any soldier wishing to be considered for promotion to Cpl and above must hold the appropriate qualifications (Level 1 for Cpls and Level 2 for Sgt and above) and have their competence fields completed on JPA. b. MATTs. Level 1 for MATTs within 12 months 3 of the start date of their allocated CLM course, regardless of the MATT criteria of their assignment 4. Students on PNCO, JNCO and SNCO CLM will be expected to handle a weapon proficiently during the course. c. Pre Course Assessment. (1) PNCO/JNCO/SNCO CLM. A pre-basic Close Combat Skills (BCCS) assessment will be conducted within the first 3 days and will take the form of an AFT. The AFT must be completed successfully to demonstrate PNCOs/NCOs have the basic fitness levels to complete the physical elements of the BCCS safely. AFT 1 For PNCO, JNCO and SNCO courses. 2 MATT 1 level 3 only WHT. 3 PFA and WHT required within 6 months. 4 For PNCO, JNCO and SNCO CLM only. WOs attend at the MATT criteria of their current assignment. Chapter 5 Annex J 5-J-1 Vers Aug 2014

45 Annex J failures will not be allowed to continue CLM training as they are, by definition, unable to complete BCCS without undue risk, and will be RTU. Further guidance on the inability to complete BCCS in the promotion year is contained at para 11. (2) WO CLM. All WO CLM students will be required to undertake a PFA 5. Failures will remain on the course, but will require further remediation at their unit. Units will be required to apply the MATT 2 policy for fitness failures 6. d. Attendance. If pre-selected soldiers are unable 7 to attend the allocated course, PATW are to be informed immediately and alternative attendance is to be arranged to satisfy the constraints presented by the promotion year. To prevent a backlog of soldiers requiring training, early notification of non-attendance on the course will allow reserves to be loaded with as much warning to the parent unit as possible. e. Medical Standards. In accordance to Annex J to Chapter 1 of the CLM handbook v4.1, the requirement to undergo Risk Assessment (RA) 8 and Stage 2 Fit for Course (FfC) assessment should be adhered to: Medical Deployment Standard Medically fully deployable (MFD) Medically limited deployable (MLD) Medically not deployable (MND) CLM Course Type PNCO JNCO Pt1 SNCO Pt1 WO Pt1 Stage 2 FfC assessment Stage 2 FfC assessment No RA Stage 2 FfC assessment Stage 2 FfC assessment Stage 2 FfC assessment Stage 2 FfC assessment No RA No RA Remarks Defer Where individuals are unlikely to complete BCCS training within the promotion year, units are to request an extension from APC, up to a maximum of 12 months. Unfit to Attend - Soldiers unable to complete BCCS 9 training by the end of the extended period will lose any acting rank, be considered no longer selected for promotion and reassigned accordingly. 6. Implementation.
