To encourage participants to build on previous learnings, the college is structured in an academic format beginning with Bachelor Courses, followed by Master Courses and then rounding out training with the Doctor of Commissioner Science Degree. Different “Continuing Education” courses are offered each year for commissioners to continue their training beyond these degrees.
