Senior Leader Course (SLC)

Last updated: 23 Jan 2025

Description 
The Navy Senior Leader Course presents a 5-day seminar for active-duty Navy senior officers at the pay grade of O-5 and above, CWO5, CWO4 and senior enlisted leaders (SEL) at the pay grade E-9 who did not go the CMC path. This course is designed to facilitate formal leadership and ethics education for Navy senior officers and senior enlisted to support Fleet Centered Leader Development (FCLD) and the Chief of Naval Operations' Leader Development Outcomes.

The course will prepare senior officers, CWO5s, CWO4s and senior enlisted leaders heading to fleet-wide positions requiring responsible, and comprehensive leadership abilities by promoting professional and personal growth in ethics, self-awareness, leader development, and decision making. SLC is an education class, not a training class, taught using an adult learning environment that benefits from seminar participation and experiential learning focusing on inter-active leadership development. This course integrates senior officer and SEL into combined discussions and case studies. All students will participate in a personality assessment that is required to be completed prior to the class convening. Student e-mail information is required to facilitate the self-awareness test and to provide necessary course preparation information.
