Advanced Commandant Training Academy (ACTA)

The Advanced Commandant Training Academy (ACTA) will consist of not less than 40 hours of instruction of required knowledge at the brigade and state levels. It may be conducted as a resident course, but rarely has enough students to field a class. It is generally an online distributed learning course.

The focus of ACTA is senior management facets of the Cadet Corps program, with service on a brigade support staff or the CACC HQ Staff establishing the practical basis for the course. Graduates understand how a brigade supports and oversees its units, and how the California Cadet Corps functions as an organization, and are able to contribute to those missions. The current course has 35 online sub-courses, with a mix of reading, writing assignments, practical exercises, and quizzes.
