Level Two

Level Two: Technical Training

After you have completed Level One, you are ready to move to Level Two.

To complete this level and earn the Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. Award, you will become technician rated in a specialty track (earning the leadership ribbon), and complete the "CAP Senior Officer Correspondence Course" (commonly called "ECI-13" for the old pamphlet number given to this course). See CAPR 50-17 for details on these requirements.

You will also complete the Squadron Leadership School (SLS) which provides CAP's adult members with a basic understanding of CAP operations at the squadron level and how those operations affect CAP's national missions. Additionally, members learn more about CAP customs, core values, and communications. Case studies, discussion, and group assignments are integral facets of the SLS.

Squadron Leadership Schools are administered at group or wing level and last from 12 to 16 classroom hours. Students completing SLS are awarded a certificate of completion and this trianing is noted on their permanent record.
