Enrollment must occur after promotion to CW2 in order to qualify for WOAC Prerequisite Studies credit. CW2s have the flexibility to enroll at any convenient time after promotion to CW2. Once enrolled, the course must be completed within 1 year. (b) Resident course. CW2s are eligible to attend their MOS WOAC. ADL warrant officers will attend the advanced course at their respective proponent school no later than 1 year after promotion to CW3. ARNG warrant officers complete this training prior to promotion to CW3. USAR warrant officers must complete this training prior to selection for CW3. The branch phase varies in length depending on the branch. Primary focus is directed toward leadership skill reinforcement, staff skills, and advanced MOS-specific training.
