Warrant Officer Training School (WOTS) is an 8-week in-residence training and accessions program located at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama. The goal of WOTS is to develop professional warrant officers who can advise and integrate at varying organizational levels. This program is designed to educate and train candidates with specialized knowledge or technical skills who can serve as technical advisors to command leadership. WOTS is a challenging, fast-paced, and highly structured educational program that integrates classroom lecture, guided discussion, and experiential learning opportunities to reinforce educational understanding. Candidates should expect to be submerged in a dynamic training environment both indoors and outdoors. The candidate must be motivated to understand and apply the foundation of the profession of arms, communication, leadership, and followership taught at WOTS. 

Academic curriculum and associated coursework are derived from three core program areas. These program areas focus on skills, knowledge and intellectual capabilities expected of warrant officers serving in the United States Air Force.
