Royal Military College Duntroon
The Royal Military College (RMC) of Australia, Duntroon ACT, has been the training ground for some of Australia's finest young leaders for more than 80 years. Like West Point in the United States and the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, in the United Kingdom, RMC is renowned for providing one of the best standards of leadership and management education in the world.
The Royal Military College provides the basic military environment for the development of officer qualities in cadets. Its purpose is to instil the qualities, values and ethos of the military profession. It is based on a military training program, military discipline, a regular routine, an identifiable military organisation, goals, opportunities for the assumption of responsibility and the development of leadership potential, ceremony, customs, traditions and the high value placed on the development of the corporate spirit and identity. It is an 18 month course with intakes in July and January.
The charter of the Royal Military College is to
- prepare cadets and other selected candidates for careers as officers in the Army by promoting learning, leadership and integrity; by inspiring high ideals and the pursuit of excellence; and
- inculcate a sense of duty, loyalty and service to Australia.
After 18 months intensive training, RMC graduates are commissioned as Lieutenants in the Australian Regular Army with developed skills that are second to none.
