The combination of a heart of tradition with modern education on a college level is mainly responsible for the internationally recognised high level of qualification of Austrian officers.
Since 1998, the officer cadet course is an officially recognised college course. One of the larger changes during the course of the reform preceding this arrangement was the opening of the academy to civilian students, with the intention of providing them with the skills necessary for hands-on management in fields such as disaster relief organisations. In order to be granted a place at the course, a prospective student will have to be qualified for higher education entrance in Austria – in most cases this means being in possession of an Austrian high school diploma – and pass a series of entry exams. A military applicant aiming to pursue a career as an officer in the Austrian Armed Forces will additionally need to have completed a preparation semester during the course of a one-year voluntary service or already be an NCO. Officers as Expert Managers The “Military Leadership” course focuses on communication, teamwork and organisational skills as well as problem analysis and autonomous development of solution methodologies. This provides the academy’s students with a funded background in leadership and crisis management and qualifies them as expert managers in both a military and civilian context. Upon completion of the four-year course, the students graduate with the rank of Lieutenant and a Master’s degree in “Military Leadership”. While civilian students receive the same degree as military students, they do not receive a military rank. [National Defence Academy] http://www.bundesheer.at/organisation/beitraege/lvak/egesch.shtml The Royal and Imperial Kriegsschule [War School] may be viewed as the predecessor of the National Defence Academy. The War School was founded on 14 February 1852 by Emperor Francis Joseph and was designed to "train officers of all services for the higher executive service, especially for the General Staff". Originally the School was located at Stiftskaserne, but then, in 1865, it was moved to the War School building at what today is Lehargasse. After WW I the School was disbanded, because, under the stipulations of the St. Germain peace treaty, the Republic of Austria was not allowed to have a General Staff. On 1 September 1956, the "Kommando höhere Offizierskurse" [Command for Higher Officer Courses], a precursor of the National Defence Academy, was set up at Stiftskaserne. On 1 September 1961, its was renamed "Stabsakademie" [Staff Academy]. Finally, in 1967, under General Spannocchi, who later became Army Commander, the "Stabsakademie" was renamed "Landesverteidigungsakademie".
