About ACSC
The aim of the ACSC is to prepare selected officers for high-grade joint and single Service appointments by developing their command, analytical and communications skills and by providing a broad understanding and knowledge of joint, single-Service and combined operations, of the management of defence in the United Kingdom and of the wider aspects of defence as a whole.
ACSC addresses a wide spectrum of military, political and international issues and is principally concerned with the conceptual basis of capability, its development and subsequent employment.
Advanced Command and Staff Course is internationally recognised as being equivalent in status to the course run at the Collège Interarmées De Défense (CID) in Paris, to the Lehrgang Generalstabs-Admiralstabsdienst National (LGAN) at the German Führungsakademie Der Bundeswehr (FüAkBw) in Hamburg, and to the 3 United States Single Service command and staff training courses.
The ACSC syllabus is accredited to postgraduate standard by Kings College, London (KCL)
