SUBJECT Course Report - Introduction to CIA
19-30 July 1976
Introductory Comments
1. The initial running of the Introduction to CIA
ran from 19 to 30 July 1976. The two-week course replaced
Intelligence in World Affairs (TWA) as an introductory
phase of training for new professionals in the Agency.
The revised and shortened course covered Agency management
concerns, the Agency and its employees, the intelligence
process and the CIAts place in the Intelligence Community.
2. The course is designed to provide the new pro-
fessional with a functional approach to the work of CIA.
(See course objectives stated in attached Evaluation form
and Schedule.) This is done through the use of presentations
from the various Agency components as well as with the use
of current and relevant intelligence readings. An entire
new reading package was assembled which contrasted sharply
with the IWA readings. For the first time, class members
were afforded access to SI and TK compartmented clearances
for the duration of the course.
3. Class evaluations indicate that the objectives were
met and that the first running was indeed a success. Pre-
sentations were of uniformly high quality and class partici-
pation was consistently good. From the standpoint of both
the class and the course managers the content and flow of

the course through the functional approach achieved a good
balance. The presentation on the Intelligence Community
was moved to the last day. Thus, after hearing about the
Agency for almost two weeks the class had an opportunity
to learn where the Agency fits into the Community structure
and who the other members of the Community'are. The lecture
format was broken up by a group exercise on the first day
and also by two field trips during second week--one to
the Imagery Analysis Service at I land the other STATINTL
to the Operations Center at Headquarters. moth were appreci-
ated by the class members.
4. The staff made a considerable effort as well as
a contribution to the course by integrating themselves into
the course structure, providing a visible framework as well
as presenting the different themes throughout the course
period. An effort was also made to implement instructional
technology by providing a visual media approach to the
administrative remarks at the opening session and also by
encouraging different speakers to add to or embellish visual
presentations when or where applicable. Additional plans
along these lines are being considered for subsequent runnings
of the course.
Composition of the Class
The group was fairly new in terms of Agency experience,
with just under half of the class having joined the Agency
in the past eight months. Compared to past runnings, the
population was not well balanced in terms of Directorates;
nearly two-thirds of the members came from the Directorates
for Science and Technology or Administration. The wide range
in length of service, age and grade did not hinder member
interaction; in fact, the groups appeared to benefit from
their heterogeneity. (See attached statistics.)
Class Evaluation
1. The class was asked to assign a numerical rating
on a scale of 1 (slight) to 7 (highly satisfactory) indicating
the degree to which the course met its stated objectives.
The average rating given was a little over 6, indicating that
it had indeed met those objectives.
2. Many components of the course were very well received;
the two that drew the most favorable comments were the Imagery
Analysis Service of the Intelligence Directorate and the
Operations Center.

3. Several selected remarks by individual, class
members reinforced the evaluation statistics concerning
the success of the course; they are as follows: "The
course was successful in reducing the Agency to the human
level; the presentations during the two weeks were repre-
sentative of the professional ability of the Agency's
employees." Other class members thought that the course
would enhance their career prospects in the Agency. Only
one of the 34 class members thought she would have enjoyed
a segment on World Affairs and/or International Communism.
Conclusion
The course appeared to be a very successful turnaround
from its predecessor and was well worth the time involved

NOTES TO TRAINING OFFICERS
1. Employee Development Course
Effective July 1976, the Employee Development Course
(EDC) will be adjusted as follows:
a. Revised Schedule: July - December 1976
23-25 August - (Special Session - full)
13-15 September
27-29 September
8-10 November
13-15 December - (Special Session - full)
b. The course will be reduced from four to three
days.
c. The maximum enrollment will be increased to 35
(each Directorate quota is increased to 3).
Training Officers selecting candidates for the EDC are
reminded of the criteria for attendance: Grades GS-05 - 07
with at least one year Agency service.
OTR is planning to conduct, on an experimental basis, two
runnings of the EDC for individual components. If success-
ful, we will consider requests for the January - June 1977
period from components having 35 students qualified and
available for a three-day period.
The Office of Training will soon announce a new course,
"Effective Secretarial Administration," scheduled to be
offered in July 1976 for secretaries at the GS-06 - 07
level. This course will give employees in this grade range
an additional training opportunity.

provided to all Agency personnel. With the change of length
from three to two weeks, the course is rescheduled as follows:
19-30 July 1976
20 September - 1 October 1976
26 October - 5 November 1976
29 November - 10 December 1976
Training Officers are requested to submit Form 1200 (Biographic
Profile) along with Form 73 (Request for Internal Training)
for their nominees. Clerical employees who have been with
the Agency for some time and who are being converted to
professional status should be enrolled in CIA Today and
Tomorrow and not the new course. This will help to under-
score the concept that the introductory course is for newly
hired professional employees only and eliminate the wide
discrepancies in length of service and experience which now
prevail among IWA attendees.
3. There have been a number of telephone calls to the OTR
Budget and Fiscal Office and to the External Programs staff
requesting clarification on tuition advances and reimburse-
ments. As a policy OTR processes all tuition advances and
reimbursements. However, in those cases where an employee
is attending an out-of-town program and the travel order is
cut by his office, the tuition cost may be included in the
travel advance (Form 540-b). The signed and stamped fanfold
copy of the Requests for Training (Form 136) which is for-
warded to the Component Budget and Fiscal Officer includes
the cost which OTR has approved as expendable for the par-
ticular training program. Additional expenses should be
cleared with the staff of the External Programs branch which
normally handles all tuition advances and reimbursements.
