In the first two years cadets attend a 1-hour class per week that teaches them about the history of the Air Force and general information about being an officer.  In their final two years, cadets attend a 3-hour class in which they learn the skills necessary to be an effective Air Force leader and supervisor and learn about the laws and policies that govern how Air Force decisions are made. The classes are taught by the Detachment Cadre, active duty officers and enlisted mmbers who provide operational experience and insight to the lessons. Classes are offered primarily at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst campus with some offered at Western New England College.
