Course Admissions
U.S. Participants: U.S. DoD and other U.S. federal government agency participants may apply to attend DRMI resident 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, rank waiver exceptions are made 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 organization/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 course information approximately 2 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.
