Click the button at the bottom of the form labeled “Email Form
To: STUDENT.SERVICES@MAXWELL.AF.MIL” and follow the directions.
DO NOT EMAIL THE FORM ITSELF!!!
When sending the email, cc both the Wing PDO (etp@iawg.cap.gov)
and the Wing TCO
(aelliot@iawg.cap.gov).
Once the request is emailed in, the member
will receive notification indicating that the
course materials are on the way. Then about a week later the
course materials should arrive. It is highly recommended that
all CAP members take course 00013, the CAP Senior Officer Course,
first. This course is required for promotion to Captain and
for cadets to receive the Eaker Award. Cadets who have earned
the Mitchell Award are encouraged to enroll in course 00013 and
other courses that are related to their squadron duties.
Once the student is ready, the squadron test control officer
may request the course examination using the online AFIADL
Form 17. This form has several purposes, but in this
case fill out the information on the student and click on "Send
Course Exam." Then submit the form, and print off the
receipt.
In about a week, another white 3" x 5" card
indicating that the course exam is on the way will arrive at the
student's address. Then, within a month, the test will be
mailed to the unit test control officer from the wing test control
officer. When the student is ready, the course exam can be
administered by the unit test control officer. Once the
student is done the test control officer should mail the answer
sheet in the envelope provided and seal and retain the test until
the results come back. The results will be another 3" x
5" white card that has the end of course results (pass or fail,
number right, areas of study, etc). If the student passed they
should make a copy of the card to be added to their personnel file
and annotated on their CAPF 45b. They should also inform the
test control officer that they passed. If they failed AFIADL
should automatically mail the test control officer a different
version for the student to retake the test.
