The Corporals Course distance education program (DEP) provides students with the basic knowledge and skills necessary to become successful small-unit leaders using realistic problem-based situations that a Marine corporal will encounter.
Marks are required for corporals and below. The process for assigning proficiency and conduct marks is founded in the belief that the commander who assigns these marks and the SNCOs or NCOs who recommend them are familiar with paragraph 4005 of the IRAM. Paragraph 4005 provides guidance in three major areas:
The Corporals Course distance education program (DEP) provides students with the basic knowledge and skills necessary to become successful small-unit leaders using realistic problem-based situations that a Marine corporal will encounter.
Proficiency and conduct marks are used to evaluate Marines as individuals. Through the evaluation process, proficiency and conduct marks are recommended and assigned to privates through corporals for both the regular and reserve components of the Marine Corps.
The Corporals Course and the Sergeants Course DEP does not match the Point of Instruction (POI) and Terminal Learning Objective (TLO) set for BLC.
PME Requirement Private and private first class: There are no formal PME requirements for the grades of private and private first class. b. Lance corporal: To be qualified for promotion to corporal, lance corporals must complete the “Leading Marines” MCI (0037).
To be eligible for a promotion to Corporal, a Lance Corporal must have a minimum of 12 months TIG. This was updated in MARADMINS Number: 055/16. In order to be promoted to Sergeant, Corporals must have 48 months time in service.
A Marine will not be promoted if, in the opinion of the commander, the Marine is not capable of performing satisfactorily in the higher grade, even though all other promotion requirements have been met.
In a significant change to AR 600-20, paragraph 4-14c, now codifies the customary prohibition of personal or intimate relationships between NCOs (corporal through command sergeant major) and junior enlisted service members (private through specialist).
Soldiers currently in the rank of corporal will have to qualify at a promotion board and graduate from BLC in order to retain the rank. Reserve and National Guard Soldiers will begin to be promoted under the same regulation on Oct.
All soldiers attending BLC must first be recommended for promotion to sergeant. This change goes into effect on June 1, 2022, for active-duty soldiers and Oct. 1, 2022, for reservists.
Professional Military Education (PME) refers to the professional training, development, and schooling of military personnel. It encompasses many schools, universities, and training programs designed to foster leadership in military service members.

To make sergeant (E-5) requires at least 24 months in the service and 12 months as an E4-. In practice, most people spend a lot more time than the minimum of time getting up to these ranks. The typical sergeant in the Marines has anywhere from five to eight years of time in service.
The Corporals Course DEP is available to lance corporals and above who have completed the Leading Marines DEP. It is a PME requirement for promotion from corporal to sergeant.
The American Council on Education (ACE) recommends 3 lower-division bachelor's or associate degree credits for the completion of both the Leading Marines DEP and the Corporals Course DEP.
