NCC Units provide ample opportunity for senior cadets to hold responsible position in the school units. As senior cadets are given greater leading roles in the organization, HQ NCC will create more opportunity for them to be promoted to a higher rank in the school unit.

They will be promoted to SSG after the completion of the course. They will don their SSG rank and wear the Lanyard. The possible appointments assigned to them in the school unit are:
a. Unit Sergeant Major (USM). b. Assistant Unit Sergeant Major (ASM). c. Part A – Company Sergeant Major (CSM). d. Part B – Company Sergeant Major (CSM). e. Part C – Company Sergeant Major (CSM). GUIDELINES FOR CADET PROMOTION TO SSG (LOCAL RANK) WITHOUT ATTENDING THE SENIOR SPECIALIST COURSE
