The Commander of ADC encourages innovative thought. Learning is a life long activity enabled through the formality of courses offered by the Australian Defence College, but also through informal networks and systems. The hallmarks of our approach to learning are to focus on:

• helping individuals learn,
• promoting critical thinking and problem solving,
• encouraging cooperation, communication, collaboration and trust, and
• willingness to take risk.

We will train for certainty and educate for uncertainty.
