Army BLC Class Dates 2024
The Basic Leader Course or known as the BLC is the first leadership course non-commissioned officers take. This course teaches the Army members about leadership, training management, map reading, land navigation, drills, warfighting, and ceremonies.
In this article, we will go over the BLC as a whole and cover the upcoming class dates.
If you’re an NCO, BLC is the first leadership course you will take. This course takes about a month and takes place in the Academy. So expect to be in the Academy for potentially over a month during the duration of the course.
The Basic Leader Course is combined with field applications and classroom instructions. The students of the BLC must report one day prior to the start date. For example, if your course starts at the third day of November, you must report the second day before the BLC begins.
