The Advanced Leader Development Course (ALDC) prepares petty officers first class for increased leadership responsibilities in support of the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Navy Leader Development Framework.  

This course is designed to give the learner a more in-depth knowledge to self-awareness, the naval profession, and naval leadership and ethical decision making. The curriculum is very closely linked to the Navy core values and challenges the learners to align their personal values to these values.
