From 2012, KAOCS have training at Army Cadet Military School, Goesan, Korea.

The applicant must agree to accept a commission and serve in the Republic of Korea Army on active duty.

Excluding the first week of orientation, KAOCS is a 16-week-long program for college graduates pursuing a commission in the Republic of Korea Army.

KAOCS is programmed to teach basic leadership and Soldier tasks, using the Infantry battle drills found in Army Field Manual.

After commissioning, they serve for three years; an individual may choose to extend his or her service past the required period in pursuit of an active military career.
