List of Military Education Courses

Members of the U.S. armed forces take military education courses to advance in rank, learn more about their jobs or acquire Additional Skill Identifiers (ASIs) and Special Qualification Identifiers (SQIs). Not all military education courses result in ASIs and SQIs, but most can be used to obtain promotion points. Promotion points can then be applied to a service member's personnel file. Military education courses that result in a certificate signed by a colonel or higher generally translate into promotion points at a ratio of one point per five hours of instruction.
  1. Correspondence Courses

    • A full list of military correspondence courses is available to military service members through the Army's training portal, ATIA.Train.Army.mil. Army Knowledge Online (AKO) or Department of Defense (DoD) credentials are required to log in and view correspondence courses here. The military's correspondence course catalog is governed by Department of the Army Pamphlet 351-20 and is classified 'For Official Use Only'. Although Department of the Army Pamphlet 351-20 is classified 'For Official Use Only', AKO or DoD employees may also access the course catalog.

    ASI and SQI Schools

    • Airborne, Air Assault, Pathfinder, Ranger, Sapper, Special Forces and Delta Force are considered ASI schools. Any service member may attend these courses and earn military education credit upon graduation. SQI schools are specific to a service member's Military Occupational Specialty (MOS). Graduation from any MOS-specific SQI school also results in military education credits. Some ASI and SQI schools, such as Ranger School and the Special Forces Qualification Course are closed to women.

    Common Courses

    • Combat Life Saver, Battlefield Forensics and Combatives are common military education courses that are open to anyone eligible to attend. Graduation from these courses becomes a permanent part of a service member's personnel record. These courses translate into promotion points. The Army Training Requirements and Resource System (ATRRS) maintains a complete course catalog that includes more than 120 military education courses. The ATRRS catalog can be searched by keyword, ASI and SQI identifiers and course codes.

    Enrolling in Military Education Courses

    • Every battalion and battery is slotted at least one non-commissioned officer (NCO) who manages military education. The School's NCO is responsible for submitting training requests to the Department of Defense on behalf of eligible service members. Interested junior enlisted service members must obtain permission from their first-line leader to visit the School's NCO and request training. Senior enlisted service members and officers may visit the School's NCO at their discretion. The NCO will submit a memorandum to the battalion or battery commander to gain permission for enrollment. The service member is then required to take a physical fitness assessment and meet other, school-specific requirements.
