Foreword
The Office of Training publishes the CATALOG OF
COURSES to assist Agency staff personnel to plan
training for their professional development. The cat-
alog describes courses given by the Office of Train-
ing and some of the training offered by other Offices
of the Agency. It also includes some general infor-
mation on non-Agency training programs.
The listing of OTR courses is alphabetical; other
Agency courses are arranged by Offices. The de-
scriptions include course titles, length, prerequisites
if any, location of the training, and a brief statement
of objectives and content. Training Officers and oth-
ers should carefully note the information in these de-
scriptions, particularly prerequisites, before sending
applications to the OTR Registrar.
Inserts for this catalog will be sent to users to an-
nounce changes in course content or requirements.
The OTR BULLETIN and Special Bulletins will contin-
ue to publish supplementary information on both Agen-
cy and non-Agency training and course schedules.
The Agency courses described in the catalog are plan-
ned for formal classroom instruction. To meet spe-
cial requirements, some courses, or portions of them,
can be taught tutorially. Arrangements for tutorial
instruction are made directly with the chief of the
school or office responsible for the course.

OTR Courses: Form 73 (Request for Internal Train-
ing) is used to apply for admission to OTR courses
(unless otherwise noted). Training Officers send the
original and the instructor's copy to the OTR Regis-
trar before the close of registration for the course.
For Headquarters courses, registration closes onthe
Tuesday before the course begins; for courses given
away from Headquarters, registration closes two
weeks before the course begins.
Courses of other Offices: Form 73 (Request for Inter-
nal Training) is also used to apply for admission to
courses conducted by Agency offices other than the Of-
fice of Training. Consult the Training Officer of the
Office responsible for the course for any special pro-
cedures for registration in these courses.
Non-A enc courses: Form 136 (Request for Training
at Non- CIA Facility) is used to apply for external train-
ing sponsored by the Agency. Agency sponsorship is
contingent on assurance that the training will benefit
the Agency and is in accord with the Government Em-
ployees Training Act. Applications are submitted to
the OTR Registrar according to directions on the form.
When approved by OTR, the application serves as au-
thorization for expenditure of training funds, and as
the external training input for the Agency Training
Record.
Enrollment in external courses in which effective rep-
resentation of the Agency is considered a significant
aspect of attendance requires nomination by the appli-
cant's Career Board and selection by the Agency Train-
ing Selection Board. A list of courses on which the
Training Selection Board will act is on page 68. In
some cases, particularly for long or expensive cours-
es, a continued service agreement is required.

Agency Training Record
Headquarters Regulation _ subparagraph d (2)(c)
states:
The Director of Training shall maintain
the Official Agency Training Record, for
career management and other purposes,
to show participation in and satisfactory
completion of all Agency-sponsored train-
ing, except on-the-job training, approved
by the Director of Training.
The Agency Training Record is a computer listing of
individual employee training conducted or sponsored
by the Agency. It includes OTR courses, many inter-
nal programs conducted by other components, and
Agency- sponsored training at non-CIA facilities. The
Record does not reflect participation in informal or
special-purpose training of short duration, such as
briefings, lectures, conferences, professional meet-
ings, or orientation and familiarization tours.
The Agency Training Record is prepared and main-
tained by the Admissions and Information Branch of
the OTR Registrar Staff. Annual cumulative reports
and quarterly supplements are produced by the RCA
501 computer. AIB sends Senior Training Officers
copies of the reports covering their Directorates; to
Training Officers it sends copies of the reports on
training in their Offices or Components.

MANAGEMENT one week, full-time, at a training site away from Headquarters.
Prerequisites: TOP SECRET clearance; present or anticipated
managerial assignment, i. e., one involving the management of
supervisors or other managers; GS Grades 11 to 13.
The objectives of the course are to orient and familiarize managers with the prac-
tical aspects of management which can be applied in the Agency. The underlying
assumption is that management development is a process of growth on the job and
that exchange of ideas will aid that process of growth.
The course aims (1) to help the manager to better understand his problems, not by
providing answers but by providing an, environment in which his problems are ex-
amined in relation to others; (2) to provide a related series of concepts drawn
from both Agency experience and management theory against which the manager
may check his own methods; (3) to develop a recognition that management prob-
lems are parallel throughout the Agency; and (4) to orient managers towards an
understanding of the relationships between management and substantive activities
in the various components of the Agency.
The course is conducted at two levels (GS-11 through GS-13, and GS-14 and above)
so that managers of a given general level of responsibility work together. A lim-
ited number of students who are anticipating managerial assignments will be ac-
cepted in each course.

NON-AGENCY COURSES AND PROGRAMS
When it is uneconomical or impractical to teach a subject inside the
Agency, students are sent for training to other government agencies or
to courses in universities or programs offered by public institutions or
private industry. The Government Employees Training Act (GETA) re-
quires that our first choice in non-Agency training be in other govern-
nuent departments; if the requirement cannot be filled there, we must
go next to private or public institutions wholly or partly financed by
the U.S. Government; only after these sources are exhausted are we
free to seek training in the rest of the academic world.
Agency regulations entrust to the Director of Training the responsi-
bility for "approval and arrangement of training at authorized non-CIA
facilities. " His duties include insuring that Agency employees have the
knowledge and technical skill to carry out the general and specific func-
tions of CIA. The training requirements generated by these functions
would strain the facilities of any university and obviously are beyond
the capacities of OTR and the other Agency components which conduct
training courses.
Need is the central criterion in determining who will be sponsored by
the Agency for external training--not the need of the individual and his
personal interests, but Agency need. CIA will not send an employee to
college to earn a degree merely for the sake of the degree. If, however,
the Agency needs a specific skill and the individual selected to go outside
to learn it achieves a degree in the process, as a by-product, there is
neither Agency objection nor prohibition by the GETA.
Multiple considerations are involved in the choice of a non-Agency
course or school. Among these are the provisions of the GETA, the
reputation of a school or of a faculty, previous good experience with
the school or course, location (travel expenses must be considered),
cover or operational problems, whether the prospective student can be
spared from his desk, whether the course is part-time or full-time.
And, of course, others. The OTR Registrar Staff is prepared to and

has the responsibility of giving information, advice, and assistance in
choosing non-Agency training and of arranging enrollment and other
details. The External Training Branch of the Registrar Staff furnishes
to the student in an outside training program whatever support and
information he may need before and during the course.
Two main demands are made on the student going outside the Agency
for training: that he perform creditably while in training, and that he
prepare a report on his training and experiences.
Applications for outside training under agency auspices should be sent
on Form 136 through Training Officers to the Registrar/OTR. An
employee who wants to take outside courses at his own expense is re-
quired to make arrangements in accord with the provisions of HR
paragraph 7e.
Enrollment in some external courses is controlled by the Training Se-
lection Board. For further information on the scope of the Board's
activity and the courses on which its action is required, see page 67.

CIA, in cooperation with the George Washington University and The

college-level courses (for credit) in the Headquarters Building with all-
Agency classes and Agency instructors. Courses may be offered in
any subject for which there is sufficient demand. Tuition is two-thirds
of that charged for the same courses on the campuses. Some students
in the Off-Campus Program are sponsored by the Agency; most enroll
at their own expense. Classes are held after work hours. Registra-
tion is handled by the universities involved, a fact which limits partici-
pation in these courses to overt CIA employees. Other arrangements
can be made for non-overt employees to enroll in similar programs.
For further information on the program, call the OTR Registrar.

employees of other agencies. INTERAGENCY TRAINING PROGRAMS
is an annual bulletin which lists all courses open to employees of other
than the sponsoring agencies, as well as courses developed for govern-
ment-wide training by the Civil Service Commission, the Bureau of
the Budget, and the General Services Administration. This bulletin is
distributed to Training Officers by the OTR/Registrar.
The bulletin groups courses under the following headings: General
Management, Supervision, Supply Management, Personnel Manage-
ment, ADPS in Modern Management, Management Engineering Pro-
gram, Administrative Operations, Communications, Safety and Protec-
tion, Civil Defense, The United States and World Affairs, Specialized
Agency Programs, Mathematics and Physical Sciences, Skilled Trades
and Crafts, Communicable Disease Control, and Environmental Sci-
ences and Engineering Training. Programmed instruction given on
teaching machines at the National Institutes of Health is also listed.
Principal Government agencies are represented on the Committee on
Interagency Training. Members of the Committee make courses of
their departments available for inclusion in the bulletin, advise the
Civil Service Commission on interagency training matters, and serve
as focal points of interagency training information and assistance in
their respective agencies. The OTR Registrar is the CIA representa-
tive on the Committee. The program is administered by the Office of
Career Development of the U. S. Civil Service Commission.

TRAINING SELECTION BOARD COURSES
Attendance at some non-Agency courses requires action by the CIA Training Selec-
tion Board. The notice which established the Training Selection Board is reproduc-
ed here:
TRAINING SELECTION BOARD
1. Effective 1 January 1964 there is established a Training Selection Board
for the purpose of selecting candidates to participate in external training programs
where effective representation of the Central Intelligence Agency is considered by
the Board to be a significant criterion for selection. The Director of Training is
designated Chairman of the Board, and the Director of Personnel or his Deputy
will serve as a permanent member. In addition, the Executive Director-Comptrol-
ler and each Deputy Director will designate a representative to act for him as a
permanent member of the Board.
2. The Training Selection Board will be responsible for considering annu-
ally and recommending candidates to be nominated by the Agency for attendance at
the Senior Defense Colleges, the Senior Seminar in Foreign Policy, and the Advanc-
ed Management Program at Harvard University. Candidates for these programs
will compete for appointment in terms of their performance, need for the training
in their present or proposed assignments, other qualifications as required by each
institution, and their apparent ability to represent the Agency. Heads of Career
Services will submit nominations in response to an annual solicitation by the Chair-
man of the Training Selection Board. Candidates who are available in the headquar-
ters area will appear before the Board for personal interview during the selection
process. Candidates and alternates chosen by the Board will be recommended to
the Deputy Director of Central Intelligence for final selection.
3. The Training Selection Board will review continually the Midcareer
Training Program and recommend to the Executive Director-Comptroller methods
and procedures to ensure its continued and improved effectiveness.

4. The Board will evaluate continually external training programs to se-
lect those of interest to the Agency. In consultation with Heads of Career Services,
the Board will establish quotas and arrange with the sponsoring institution for the
allocation to the Agency of a suitable number of billets in selected programs. Nom-
inees for'these programs will be screened by a committee of one or more Board
members designated by the Chairman and candidates to represent the Agency will
be selected by the Training Selection Board.

for Support
The courses listed here are those on which Training Selection Board action is now
required. The list may be shortened or lengthened in the future. In addition to the
courses listed here, the Training Selection Board will act when a full year of study
in an institution of higher learning is involved, when the training desired is a gov-
ernment intern program, and in cases where applications exceed the number of
places available in courses which the Board does not ordinarily handle. Nomina-
tions for courses on which Training Selection Board action is required should be
sent through the Senior Training Officer of the candidates directorate to the Board.

AMA's concept of management education is that managerial skills and techniques
are best taught by those who are most familiar with them- -experienced managers
who are themselves full-time operating executives. Speakers and discussion
leaders are selected from the leaders of today's management profession.
Among the means the association uses for management education are courses,
seminars, and conferences.
AMA COURSES are regularly scheduled sessions, taught by experts, and cover-
ing a wide variety of topics under the following general headings: Management,
Administrative Services, Finance, Insurance, Manufacturing, Marketing, Per-
sonnel, Purchasing, and Research and Development. Courses run from one to
two weeks.
AMA SEMINARS are of two types, workshops and orientation. Workshop seminars,
designed for experienced operating executives only, are small discussion groups
where participants meet with other executives faced with similar problems and
responsibilities to exchange experience, outline their problems and hear suggested
solutions, and learn of successful systems and methods used in other companies.
The orientation seminars are designed for executives, experienced or novice, who
want or need a brief review of fundamentals or who wish to keep abreast of latest
developments in their fields. These sessions are primarily instructional. Semi-
nars cover many management topics under the following general headings: Admin-
istrative Services, Defense Industry, Finance, General Management, Insurance,
International Management, Manufacturing, Marketing, Packaging, Personnel, Pur-
chasing, and Research and Development. Seminars run from two to five days.
AMA CONFERENCES provide a quick summary of current management thinking in
a general subject area. Authoritative speakers, panel discussions, demonstrations,
and exhibits emphasize proven, practical ideas and their relationship to the gen-
eral business environment.
