NATURE AND PURPOSE. The AOCI program is a mode of instruction in which ALMC provides the appropriate course materials and approved local activity instructors provide the instruction. AOCI certification may be granted on a one-time basis using the procedures outlined below or on a permanent basis. Requirements for AOCI offerings must be submitted to ALMC through the ATRRS Training Resources Arbitration Panel (TRAP) System.

The regular AOCI courses parallel their resident counterparts and are equally qualifying for career progression.

SPECIAL AOCI PROGRAMS. Special AOCI courses are prepared from select portions of the regular AOCI courses and are designed to meet specific installation educational requirements. A command or activity needing special courses should contact the appropriate ALMC AOCI project officer concerning a special AOCI course to fill the need.
