When does CyBolc start?

Hi,
I am planning to be cyber operations officer (17A).
However, I could not find any information about when it starts.
Since it takes 37 weeks to finish which is about 9 months, I guess it opens once a year.
So if I can know when it starts, it would be really helpful.

Thank you.

What do you mean planning on being 17A?
ATRRS has ALL the school dates.
This FY there were 8 scheduled CY BOLC courses. Classes run all year long.

You could look in ATRRS. You won’t see courses beyond the FY.

Like any BOLC, it is constantly going on. COVID has thrown a wrench in it a bit but for the most part things are still going on and it all comes down to when the Army decides to send you. I have a guy at the Army Cyber Institute who commissioned in the fall this last year and went immediately and just finished, I have another that graduated the same time and is only just now attending, my girlfriend graduated last month and started BOLC 3 weeks ago, and some guys graduated with her and aren’t reporting until October.

PFC Private RallyPoint Member in case you weren’t aware this MOS also requires a Top Secret with SCI access clearance which can take over a year to complete the investigation and is highly competitive.
