Each year approximately 1,000 technical sergeants attend professional military education at the Kisling NCO Academy, located on Kapaun Air Station.
The school’s mission is to “prepare technical sergeants to be professional, war-fighting Airmen who can lead and manage Air Force units in the employment of air, space and cyberspace power.” And our vision is “to develop Airmen with a warrior ethos and passion for leading in the cause of freedom.”
Students attend 28 academic days of training, covering more than 220 hours of curriculum, focusing on four areas, including successful learning, critical thinking and:
» Military professional (i.e. airmanship, human performance, culture and heritage, diversity and ethics)
» Operational Airman (i.e. joint organization, joint warfighter and cross cultural awareness)
» Managerial communicator (i.e. writing, speaking, strategic communi-
cation, media engagement and interpersonal communication)
» Unit manager (i.e. four lenses, team development, strength based leadership, leader influence, negotiating, resource stewardship, discipline, emergent leadership issues, change management and continuous improvement)
The Kisling NCO Academy maintains a website to ensure students can access information prior to arrival.
