Have you participated in ANY civilian leadership training programs? If so, which ones and how do they stack up to military leadership training ?

I've been to numerous civilian leadership classes while I was with a large telecommunications company, they did not compare. There was zero stress placed on us and there was no Go/NoGo structure. So, it wasn't taken seriously.

The only civilian leadership training I've had has been Skillport classes. As with most of the other Skillport classes, while I fulfilled the completion requirements and earned the promotion points, I didn't learn anything to speak of.
