Listed above are some of the
topics that will be covered during your Education for promotion
courses, EFP1 & EFP2. This is not a bible, however if
you are unsure of were to start preparing your self for the
course ahead, then this is as good as any place to start.
The Topics listed are as per
the EFP 2 course that I completed in June 2000, things might
of changed since then but the skeleton will remain, and that's
really what I have produced in the following pages. A.D.S
stands for Army Defence Studies, M.M.S is the Military Man
Management, C.A.Ds, and these are currant Affairs Discussions
and took place daily.
On arrival at the course (Education
Centre) all students are split into groups of 4 people and
this is the group that you work through the course with, producing
team projects, presentations, (if you do not understand how
to use Microsoft Power Point, I would strongly suggest that
you learn, its not hard, and presents any presentation with
maximum effect) and talking about concurrent affairs.
There are also Written Assessments
throughout the course, no computers are used for these phases
of the course, if you write your name like a child with a
3 inch crayon then you need to practice writing legibly prior
to the course, the marks gained here go towards your final
grade, if your writing can not be read then you can not expect
to gain the required marks, regardless of how good the content
may be. The examiner must be able to read it. When sitting
these written Assessments you are against the time and a good
time appreciation is required.
Attached to the pages that
follow are snippets of information that will assist you in
doing some form of pre training, however, do not use this
totally I would recommend that you talk to the Army Education
Centre direct for the best pre training you could give your
self.
This is an excellent course,
the staff will assist you in what ever you feel uncomfortable
with, the atmosphere is very relaxed and you are made to feel
at ease. The only pressure that you feel is all self induced,
but that is nature, and you will feel it. Have a good one.
The following pages will assist
you with you EFP 1 & 2
