Exercise Conducting Officer (ECO) Course

The aim of this course is to qualify Cadet Force Adult Volunteers (CFAVs) as Exercise Planning and Conducting Officers for Cadet Force exercises using Blank Ammunition and Pyrotechnics at detachment and contingent levels.

Successful completion of the course qualifies the Officer or Adult Instructor as an Exercise Conducting Officer (ECO) and for promotion from SI to SSI in the ACF and from Lt to Capt in the CCF. The attendance of this course does not automatically gain a promotion. All promotions are based on attitude, values and commitment past the qualifying courses.

Candidates must have attended Adult Induction (qualifying) courses unless exempt due to previous Regular or Reserve service.
