Anyone gone through WOCS recently know if you have to pass APFT or ACFT in order to enter the course and graduate?

ACFT, both initially prior to getting in WOCS while in holdover and at the end of the course. This changed after I went in 18

Im sure you do.

Great question, I didn't even think about that. I haven't taken the ACFT but I've reviewed the standards and seems easy enough to at least pass.

As of 1 October this year, ACFT is a graduation requirement for basic, AIT, BOLC, WOBC.

"If you start basic on October 1, however, you'll be taking the ACFT as a graduation requirement; Hibbard said in the release that soldiers graduating Advanced Individual Training, One Station Unit Training, Warrant Officer Basic Course, and the Basic Officer Leader's Course are going to take the ACFT before graduating in order to "train realistically and develop physically in the earlier phase in their career." "

The entire Army is going to start doing the new ACFT, but the scores won’t count until next year

Good luck out there.

I graduated WOCS in October and we didn't take the ACFT at all. APFT while in HHC for WOCS entry requirement and APFT again for WOCS graduation requirement. We did ACFT prep PT several times, but never actually took the test. We were told several times throughout that we would do the ACFT for data gathering purposes, but it didn't happen. Whether that has changed in the last 2 months, I don't know.

For anyone attending WOCS in 2020 prior to October, I would anticipate taking the ACFT for familiarization at the very minimum.

Attended WOCS from August to September this year. Then it was the APFT. Though the memo in previous comments don’t mention the course, let me reach out to our TAC Officers and find out what they’re currently doing. For WOBC though it is the ACFT.

I just graduated WOCS in October and we took the APFT. We did have a lot of ACFT familiarization, though.

Got with the Warrant Officer Career College (WOCS). They’re looked to implement the AFCT during the 3rd Quarter of FY20

As of my Graduation date of 5 December 2019 all Students will be required to pass the ACFT upon arrival and again before graduation in order to successfully complete WOCS.
