Course Admissions

U.S. Participants: U.S. DoD and other U.S. federal government agency participants may apply to attend any DRMI resident and virtual courses (link below). The DRMI typically requires that military participants rank O-3 and above, or E-7 through E-9 with a college degree, and that civilians rank GS-09 and above. However, exceptions are available on a case by case basis.

The DRMI is a DoD sponsored activity, therefore no tuition is charged for DoD personnel, however, the participant's agency is responsible for travel and per diem. Capacity in DRMI courses is limited and requests for admission are confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis. If the course dates you have requested are not available, you will be added to a stand-by list and notified accordingly. You will receive additional information approximately 4-6 weeks in advance of the course start date. U.S. participation in the Senior International Defense Management Course has additional requirements. Please contact us directly for information about that course.
