Important! CAP is committed to bringing you the most current and relevant information. With a number of courses available, keeping up with every detail in every course becomes quite complex. As a result, CAP has placed course materials on-line and open-sourced (see below for the links).
What does this mean? If you see an item that needs to be changed or updated, or if you have a great addition, please let us know! Send an e-mail to the LEAD Team (the Leadership, Education And Development section at national headquarters). If your suggestion is approved, we will replace the item with your better solution and give you full credit right on the item!
For example, if you notice that one of the Microsoft PowerPoint slides refers to an obsolete regulation, simply send the LEAD Team a replacement slide with the current information and you will see your name added to the bottom of the slide, like the example below:
Be sure to submit your recommendations so that every member will have the latest and most correct information!
