DSN: 257-2725

The Jason D. Cunningham Airman Leadership School (ALS) is a 5-week course designed to prepare Airmen for supervisory and leadership responsibilities. ALS is a requirement for promotion to SSgt and you must be an ALS graduate in order to supervise/rate.

The course has four areas of concentration: Professional Airman, Expeditionary Airman, Supervisor of Airmen, and Supervisory Communicator. All areas provide the tools necessary to be effective supervisors and leaders in today’s Air Force. The course contains 192 hours of curriculum instruction over 24 academic duty days. The school graduates seven classes annually with roughly 350 students per year.

All students should be considered in “TDY” status for the duration of the course. Students attending ALS are exempt from exercises, recalls, and PT testing (which should be accomplished prior to attending). Students needing to WAPS test should be scheduled for testing before/after attending ALS. Good communication between ALS staff and commanders/first sergeants/students is necessary to ensure proper notification/preparation time prior to class start dates.

The eligibility requirements for attending ALS are as follows:

  • Students cannot be on a control roster.
  • Students cannot be under investigation.
  • Students must be able to participate in PT and drill/ceremony.
  • Students must have a minimum of 6 months retainability after graduation.

Testing

Testing Programs are a significant part of the educational experience. The Moody Education Center provides a wide variety of testing opportunities to the base populace.   In addition to military testing such as promotion, end-of-course, and PME exams, we offer college-level exams such as CLEP and DSST via Wiregrass Georgia Technical College’s National Testing Center.  Additionally, we’re a certified Pearson Vue testing center allowing us to administer various certification examinations.

Language Testing
Language exams include the Defense Language Aptitude Battery (DLAB) and the Defense Proficiency Test (DLPT). These exams are offered on Wednesdays and can be scheduled via the online test request instructions provided above. A list of DLPT languages available as well as information concerning the tests can be found on the link(s) below.

Military Testing Program

For individuals seeking to retrain, we also offer the Armed Forces Classification Test (AFCT) which is the active duty version of the Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB).

The military testing program consists of the Weighted Airman Promotion System (WAPS) and miscellaneous tests, such as the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test (AFOQT), Electronic Data Processing Test (EDPT), and Test of Basic Aviation Skills (TBAS) needed to qualify for various Air Force programs. Interested individuals can click here or contact their WAPS monitor for more information concerning the miscellaneous exams.
