KM Qualification Course
The KM Qualification Course (KMQC), geared towards Army soldiers and Civilians, enables you to improve your organization’s effectiveness through shared understanding.
Course Description:
The Office of the Chief Knowledge Office (OCKO) is introducing a groundbreaking pilot Knowledge Management Qualification Course (KMQC-I) at FT Eustis VA, tailored specifically for Army Civilian professionals. The KMQC-I course is a comprehensive, functional training course designed to provide Army Civilian Professionals (ACPs) and Soldiers with the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to succeed in the field of KM. Through a strategic emphasis on the ADDPI process and experiential learning opportunities, this course is designed to cultivate a cutting-edge cohort of Knowledge Management (KM) professionals empowered to spearhead innovation and drive transformative improvement throughout Army Institutions. The course addresses limited number of seats available for ACPs in the AKMQC conducted at Fort Leavenworth by providing additional training opportunities to increase the number of qualified ACP KM professionals required to establish and operate effective KM programs across the Army. While this is an Army course, sister service KM professionals seeking basic KM qualification are welcome.
The KM Qualification Course (KMQC) at Fort Leavenworth trains and educates Active, Reserve, and National Guard military personnel. It also trains Department of Defense Civilians, U.S. Government Civilians, and Foreign Military personnel on Army KM doctrine & principles. Students learn how KM effectively enhances a unit’s capability and mission command. Also, students learn how proper KM helps facilitate shared understanding to improve organizational effectiveness.
