The Warrant Officer Advanced Common Core (WOACC) Distributed Learning (DL) is an 18-hour mandatory nonresident Warrant Officer (WO) course consisting of 11 common core lessons that build upon the skills, knowledge, and experiences developed through previous training and assignments.
This course provides CW2s and junior CW3s with material aimed at enhancing and sharpening communicative, leader, and staff skills needed to serve in company and higher-level positions. This course must be completed within one year of enrollment and prior to attending the resident (branch and/or proponent) WOAC training. Resident WOAC attendance eligibility: RA Technical WOs, all ARNG WOs, and all USAR WOs after promotion to CW2 (RA Aviation WOs after selection to CW3) and after meeting all branch specific prerequisites.
This is a prerequisite for all follow-on WOAC courses. The cumulative (non-resident and resident) training provides the leader, technical, and tactical skills needed to serve in senior positions at the CW3 level.
