From October 2020, the Army CLM programme will be replaced by the Army Leadership Development Programme (ALDP).

  • ALDP has replaced the old CLM parts 1-3.
  • Lance Corporals undertake a ten-day military training package.
  • Corporals and Sergeants also attend a seven-day military education course.
  • The warrant officers’ schedule combines both modules, with exact details to be published in the coming months – Until then they will continue with CLM.
    • Warrant Officer training was revamped from April 2021.
