Here is how you should translate:

PLDC/WLC - Primary Leadership and Management Development Course

BNCOC/ALC - Intermediate Leadership and Management Development Course

ANCOC/SLC - Advanced Leadership and Management Development Course

When it comes to NCOERs and OERs, call them "performance appraisals."

SFC Fox, Your stating the ideal and to be honest with you it looks like a statement directly from a text book. Companies may talk the talk, but do they walk the talk? Since you are working on your MBA with a concentration in HRM, you may want to research how some of these leadership programs are actually being implemented, you may be in for an eye opening experience.

SFC Fox, One additional comment - you should flesh out your RallyPoint profile and fix your LinkedIn profile, especially since you are mentoring other Veterans in their transitions.

SSG Webster, if you think there's room for improvement on my LinkedIn profile, then by all means make suggestions. Like anyone else, I'm not perfect; but I am always open to suggestions for improvements.

SFC Gary Fox - Mr. Fox, I have gone back to LinkedIn and rechecked your profile to refresh my memory, but I am not able to figure out why I made the LinkedIn comment. I may have looked at the wrong profile. I wish that I would have specifically pointed out what I thought needed fixing at the time.

Acronyms, military especially, confuse the heck out of civilian human resources people. You do have to translate it for them. Call it "supervisory training" or "personnel management and leadership training." Describe it in terms that make sense for the job you want.

I spent 15 years as an HR professional after I got off active duty. Sure, made it easier for me to understand what an applicant was trying to say, but not everyone did. I can recall discussions at corporate HR meetings or HR conferences for local businesses and having to explain things. Using today's military slang, I had to "break it down Barney style" for them.

If you get your ACES transcript it should tell you exactly what you can get credit for. Going through PLDC, BNCOC and ANCOC you can almost get a degree out of those alone.
I hope I gave you something towards your question. ACES Transcript.

The ACES transcript will tell you how many credits you would get in which catagory.

As an example of me, I have approx 6 credit hours towards in the baccularete catagory for supervising at the corporate level. For being a Combat Engineer I would get 8 credits in forest management, 6 credits for supervision, as an 88Z I would get approximately 4 credits for training as a truck driver.

The ACES transcript will break down exactly how many credits you would get in just about every catagory, including PT, Supervision, credit for different things that have to do with your MOS, also for basic issues of being in the military.

My suggestion would be to get a copy of your transcripts, you can get a copy online and print them out, then see what you should put in each catagory on your resume.
It's a lot easier to understand once you actually see what the transcript looks like. This is where you need to go.

The above comments are great. As it relates to a resume redesign; I've worked for a couple of civilian companies as a hiring manager, and I've seen resumes from military veterans that clearly highlight their military education/skills, and some resumes that miss the mark on communicating these important points. Feel free to let me know if you'd like some feedback on your resume redesign efforts - it would be an honor to assist where I can.

Thanks for the comment Paul, you might want to try and contact the original poster. There are always so many different comments the original may not get through all the comments. SFC Gary Fox also has some good advice on how to annotate the resume as well.
