A list of courses provided by the Civil Engineer and Services School (CESS) is located on the Course List page. Apply directly for a course by clicking the "Apply" button at the bottom of each course description and completing the application form.  Each course is designed for a specific audience and many courses have prerequisites and/or education requirements, so it is important to read the description carefully to be sure a course is suitable for you.

Enrollment for courses at the Civil Engineer and Services School opens ninety (90) days prior to each class start date.  Enrollment for satellite courses close twenty-five (25) days and resident courses close fourteen (14) days prior to class start.  We fill classes on a first-come, first-served basis, so it is important to apply early in the enrollment period.  The on-line application form collects all the information needed to process an application; no additional paperwork is required from military or civilian employees of the US government.  (Contractors may also attend courses and should follow the special "Contractor" information on the application page.)

Each application moves through several steps:  your supervisor must approve the application and course directors must evaluate the application in terms of the course content and your credentials.  Throughout this automated process, we will keep you informed by e-mail status updates.

Whether or not we can offer you a seat in a class depends on several factors:  your supervisor's approval, how many seats we have available, how closely your credentials match the intended audience for the course, and when you apply.  If we CAN provide a seat, your MAJCOM training manager will load your name into the AF training system, and we will send you reporting information.  In all cases, we will keep you updated by e-mail.

Cancellation Policy: To avoid receiving a Late Cancellation Notice, please cancel  NLT 10 working days prior to the class start date. We look forward to serving you.
