What is the function of the Academic Review Board in the training program?

The Academic Review Board plays a critical role in monitoring and supporting recruits who may encounter challenges during their training. Specifically, its primary function is to evaluate the academic performance and attendance of recruits who miss significant training sessions or demonstrate performance-related issues. This process ensures that all recruits are given an opportunity to succeed by providing necessary assessments, remediation plans, or additional support if needed.

This focus on academic performance is essential in maintaining the standards and integrity of the training program, allowing for early intervention to help individuals get back on track rather than allowing issues to escalate. The board is not responsible for overseeing physical fitness evaluations, conducting firearms tests, or managing the selection process, which are separate functions within the overall structure of the training program.
