Those courses that do not have Session numbers or DTRs, will be loaded onto PMKeyS shortly and the information contained on this website will be updated.
PLEASE NOTE:
Members who had nominated for a QUR delivered Grade 2 may have received notification on PMKeyS PSS they have been dropped from that course. This is an administration action only resulting from the alignment of ARA and ARes Grade 2 TMP and course codes. Members should not need to take any action.
LWC are currently reviewing all ACOTC TMP. One outcome has been the alignment of the ARes and ARA Grade 2 courses. Consequently, FORCOMD recently directed LWC to remove the Grade 2 AR and HRR course codes and to transfer to the ARes DTR to the new course codes.
All nominations will be transferred to the new Grade 2 course codes. The dates and location of the courses have not changed.
Further clarification can be obtained from the Course Manager, CSM Officer Training Company, on Ph (07) 3332 4218.
