Education and Courses
The Doctrine and Education Section leads the development and delivery of air and space power education at Australian Command and Staff College (ACSC) level onward to officers who are, or are destined to become, air and space power decision-makers. Although the focus of the APDC’s air power education is at the strategic level, the Doctrine and Education section is also the APDC’s subject matter expert on air and space power training below the ACSC level, providing specialist advice on air power matters to Air Force Training Group to assist in their development of air power training.
Doctrine and Education Section also conducts the Advanced Air Power Course (AAPC), an education course designed to supplement participants’ understanding of air power. It is incumbent on all air force members to strive for professional mastery of this, their core business, and given the rapidly changing dynamics and expectations of air power, the AAPC is designed to encourage participants to share their views on air power into the 21st century.
The Air Power Development Centre is involved in a number of other RAAF education programs including:
* Fellowships
* Officer Education Courses
* Airmen Education Courses
* Air Power Education Seminars
