Advanced Individual Training is usually the next stage of training for candidates who are assigned a job specialty prior to enlistment or during Basic Recruit Training. This is where they will learn the skills necessary to excel in their jobs in the Military.

In general, Advanced Individual Training is a classroom environment similar to college or junior college. In fact, the American Council on Education certifies more than 60% of advanced training courses as college credit. Advanced training schools last from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the complexity of the subject matter.

Training people for over 4,100 individual specialties is a massive job, and more than 10,000 courses and 100,000 support people are involved. There are over 300 military training centers.
