The Officer Education System for Warrant Officers provides preappointment and leader development training to develop technically and tactically competent warrant officers.

• Warrant Officer Candidate School (WOCS) at the USAWOCC. Graduation includes appointment to warrant officer.

• Warrant Officer Basic Course (WOBC) at the Branch/MOS proponent school. WOBC provides technical certification in the new warrant officer's primary specialty.

• Action Off Crs (Army Action Officer Course) is a prerequisite studies course to be completed prior to the advanced course.

• Warrant Officer Advanced Course (WOAC) is a professional development course at the Branch/MOS proponent school. Portions of the WOAC may be on line.

• Warrant Officer Staff Course (WOSC) is a professional development course at the USAWOCC.

• Warrant Officer Senior Staff Course (WOSSC) is a professional development course at the USAWOCC.

 Technical training is predicated on proponents' identification of required warrant officer skill levels.
