Before your Colonel recommends you for the Officer Academy, you must meet the following requirements:

  • You need to have been inan the CANCO for at least 2 months. (With some exceptions)

  • You need to have been in your regiment for at least 2 weeks.

  • You need to have an account on the website (www.nixpca.com)

The Officer Academy works by a Colonel recommending one of their Master Sergeants to be invited into the academy. During the Master Sergeant’s time within the academy, they will understanding the following subjects:

Stage I: Administration, how to design and create organized procedures.

Stage II: Instructing, how to effectively lead and train your men.

Each stage will be taught directly by an Instructor or HQ member to review your capabilities to become an officer. Stages will end with a test referred to as an “examination” that you must pass to proceed.

Upon finishing the last of their stages, an academy enlistment will have a document administered to them holding 3 questions, this will be their Final Exam. Also, upon submitting the document, the enlistment will be evaluated and given a score based on quality, competence, and activity. Each question will be graded out of 25 points, being the same as the evaluation. 

A score of 90-100 is passing.

A score of 80-89 will have you retake the Final Test.

A score of 70-79 will have you restart from Stage Two.

A score of 60-69 will have you restart from Stage One.

A score of <60 will result in a kick from the OA and a one week blacklist for you to prepare.

If you pass the Officer Academy, The Director of OA will commission you. If you fail more than twice, you must wait 2 weeks before retaking it if your CO still wants you as an officer.
