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

Although originally slated to start from October 2020, the revamped career courses are due to go online from June 2020.

  • 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.
  • Planners say the new scheme represents a more stimulating, demanding test.
