The Australian Command and Staff Course (Joint)

The Australian Command and Staff Course (Joint) (ACSC(J)), a year-long full-time course held on-campus for regular O4/O5 level officers from the Australian Defence Force, the Australian Public Service and selected allied and partner defence forces.

The Royal Australian Navy Staff Acquaint Course

The Royal Australian Navy Staff Acquaint Course (RANSAC), a one to two year part-time course for O4 level RAN Regular and Reserve officers, other Australian Defence Force Reserve officers and Australian Public Service officers, and selected allied navy reserves. The RANSAC is conducted by both distance and on-campus means.

Australian Command and Staff Course Army Reserve

The Australian Command and Staff Course Army Reserve (ACSC(R)), also a one to two year part-time course for O4 level Army Reserve officers, and also conducted by both distance and on-campus means.

While the nature of Reserve service in the RAN and Army demands some minor differences in course outcomes and delivery methodologies, in principle, both the RAN and Army Reserve courses are aligned to the ACSC(J), and represent sub-sets of that course's professional military education.
