The basic training courses can be physically and psychologically demanding, and recruits undergo tremendous physical and mental stress during the training.
Responsibilities
The School is responsible for the Distance Learning portion of the Canadian Forces Primary Leadership Qualification (PLQ). Unlike the BMOQ and BMQ courses which are aimed at recruits and officer cadets, the PLQ is for more senior military members.
The School is also responsible for the Canadian Armed Forces Junior Officer Development (CAFJOD) program which exposes Junior Officers from the Regular and Reserve Forces to a general and standardized body of foundational knowledge through seven Distance Learning modules.
The school's motto is "Learn to Serve" (French: "''Apprendre à servir''").
