Company Commander Training Course

Introducing my Company Commander Training Course…

Dear Company Commander:

Let me begin by saying thank you for your military service. As a veteran, I appreciate everything that you do for our great country. In my opinion, there is no greater honor than leading soldiers, especially in combat. As Company Commanders and small unit leaders, we have an awesome responsibility that most civilians will never understand.

If you’re like most Company Commanders, you are overwhelmed, overworked and perhaps, frustrated. You love what you do, but you could use some extra help and advice.

Trust me, I’ve been there and done that and I know exactly how you feel right now. I’ve always believed that the Army National Guard and Army Reserve should do a better job preparing officers for Company Command. The training you get before you take command (if you get any training at all) is marginal at best.

You’re probably reading this page because you are looking for solutions to your challenges. You are looking for some help with your Company Commander duties. You’re trying to find information, tips and advice on HOW to be a better, more effective and more efficient Company Commander. You’re trying to soak up all the knowledge you can find to help you hone your leadership skills.

If that describes you, I’m here to tell you that you are in the right place at the right time!

My name is Charles Holmes. My friends call me Chuck. I hope you will do the same thing.

That’s my mug shot you see on the left hand side of this paragraph. I am a former ARNG Major and Company Commander.

In addition, I am the creator of this website, Part-Time-Commander.com, one of the most popular websites in the world for officers, NCOs and soldiers serving in the Army National Guard and Army Reserve.

I’m also the author of countless books and training products for the same audience of people.

Like you, I’ve been there and done that. I spent two years in a very successful Company Command. My experience was very rewarding AND challenging. Looking back, I can tell you that I wasn’t fully prepared for Company Command when I first got started.

I thought I was, but boy I was wrong. I only wish someone would have sat down with me and given me a class on how to be a successful Company Commander prior to taking command. I wish something like my Company Commander Training Course would have been available for me to purchase and study.

Like you, I attended my Captain’s Career Course and Pre-Command Course before command, but those courses didn’t teach me even 20 percent of what I needed to learn to be a successful Company Commander. 99 percent of what I learned in Company Command was through on the job training and through trial and error.

Sure, these lessons were valuable, but it would have been much better to learn these lessons BEFORE I took command. Fortunately for you, I documented everything I learned during my time in command. I kept track of what worked and what didn’t work. I kept a journal of everything!

All of these lessons are documented in my Company Commander Training Course. This course is designed to teach YOU what you need to know to have a SUCCESSFUL and FULFILLING Company Command.

This training program comes in audio format, so you can listen to it whenever you want. In all, there are 16 audio CDs. To clarify, each CD is me talking about specific issues and challenges.

It’s not an audiobook. I’m not reading anything. Nothing is scripted. I simply follow my outlines and share all of my knowledge and experience with you.

Here’s what you will get on the CDs.

I took one piece of advice from each commander and I summarize what they said on this CD. This is a powerful CD. In fact, this might just be the most valuable CD in this entire course. After all, I’ve found that the best way to learn is to learn from others who have already done what you are trying to do.

Additional Information

Please keep in mind that my Company Commander Training Course is a physical product that will get mailed to you. In all, there are 9+ HOURS (556 minutes) worth of recorded training on 16 audio CDs.

This comprehensive Company Commander Training Course will prepare you for success as a Company Commander. You can listen to the training over-and-over. You can review the material when you have questions.

You can put a CD in your car as you drive to and from drill weekend. You can study the information at your own leisure. You can use the information you learn to develop your subordinates.

And best of all, you can add this Company Commander Training Course to your arsenal of tools and resources in your leader’s library. Whenever you have a question or a dilemma, you can refer to our guide to find answers to your problems.

I can tell you one thing. You won’t find anything else online like our program on the internet. And to the best of my knowledge, there isn’t any other course like this offered by the Army either. This is the course you wish the Army would give you before you took Company Command!

Sure, you might get lucky and attend your Captain’s Career Course and Pre-Command Course before you take command, but those courses won’t fully prepare you for your command responsibilities. And if you’re like most Company Commanders, you’ll be expected to figure things out on your own.

While that sounds like a noble idea, the fact is you don’t know what you don’t know. The purpose of this course is to fill the gap and give you a 95 percent solution BEFORE you take command of your unit.

This course will give you a cutting edge above your peers and help position you for success as a commander. I wish I would have had access to a course like this before I took command. I would have gladly paid much more than what I am selling this Company Commander Training Course for.

In fact, you can get this course for approximately what you would get paid for 1/2 day’s work at drill weekend. That’s a super deal considering it would take you MONTHS, maybe even YEARS to figure out all of this information on your own.

What I’m going to do right now is ask you to INVEST in your future. It’s a proven fact that leaders are always looking for ways to improve their skills and performance. Smart leaders invest in themselves to learn the required skills of their profession. They read books, attend seminars, have mentors and do what they can to hone their skills and develop their potential.

Simply put, great leaders are students of their profession. They commit to life-long learning and do whatever they can to gain KNOWLEDGE.

I’m asking you to take out your credit card right now and buy this course. I’m asking you to invest in you!

However, you can buy my Company Commander Training Course with confidence. I offer everyone a 60-day, no questions asked, money back guarantee on your purchase.

If you purchase this course and aren’t happy with the material, you can return it to to me for a no questions asked money back guarantee. I stand behind everything I sell and want you to be 100 percent satisfied with your purchase.

In addition, please know that I am a trusted business owner. My website has been around ten years now and we’ve sold thousands of products. In all that time, I’ve only had five product refund requests! I immediately refunded their money without hesitation. I am proud of that.

You might be wondering, how much will this Company Commander Training Course cost me? In my opinion, this information is worth much more than I am charging for it.

I could easily charge $497 for this course because of the value it provides. But, I’m offering it at a much lower cost. It’s not $397. It’s not $297. It’s not $197.

For a limited time, you can get my Company Commander Training Course for just $125, plus shipping.

Testimonials

Still not convinced? Don’t take my word for it. Here’s what some of our happy customers are saying.

Chuck’s Company Commander Training Course is awesome. The audio training really gave me lots of beneficial information to help me succeed as a Company Commander. What I like best is that I can listen to the training over and over. I wish I would have learned this information in the Pre-Command Course. If you haven’t ordered a copy for yourself yet, do so immediately.

~ Ed S., Current Company Commander

This is a must read for every aspiring and current Company Commander and First Sergeant. Best of all, it’s priced to sell. For about a half a day’s pay, you can learn lots of helpful tips that will help save you time, get more done, and have less stress. I liked this course so much that I purchased a copy for two of my friends!

Tim T., Current Company Commander

Outstanding book! These are the lessons every Company Commander needs, including active duty Army officers. A must read for future and serving Company Commanders. Battalion Commanders would be wise to add this to their officer professional development training.

Jo Rusin, Colonel (ret.) U.S. Army, author of “Women on Your Team: A Man’s Guide to Leading Women”

A Company Commander has a lot of responsibilities and as a result, he or she must prioritize in order to be effective. After reading the ‘Part-Time Company Command eBook’ I have a better sense of planning and organizing activities and tasks for mission success. I learned how to address immediate issues that pertained to the development of leaders and Soldiers. I also feel a sense of calm because the eBook can easily be used as a reference guide. I highly recommend the purchase of this book for any new Company Commander.

Ivan O., Company Commander, ILARNG
