The Canadian Forces College (CFC), located in Toronto, Ontario,
provides professional military education for selected members of
the Defence Team for the command and control of the Canadian
Forces, across the continuum of operations in joint,
interagency, multinational and public environments.  The
Canadian Forces College is Canada's centre of excellence for
developing the Defence Team to the highest intellectual and
professional standards for effective command and control of the
Canadian Forces.

One of the key programmes at CFC is the National Security
Programme (NSP).  The NSP is a demanding and intense Masters
level programme designed for senior Canadian officers,
international officers, senior government officials as well as
senior executives from the private sector. Its aim is to prepare
selected military, public service, international and private
sector leaders for future strategic responsibilities within a
complex and ambiguous global security environment.

The programme is approximately forty (40) weeks long and is
divided into three 12 week rotations plus orientation. Each
rotation consists of two courses.

The NSP will cover the following topics:	

Strategic Command and Institutional Leadership; 
Strategic Resource Management in Government; 
Canadian National Security and International Relations; 
Strategy Formulation and the Application of National Power; 
Comprehensive Campaign Design in Complex Environments.

The student body principally includes officers at the rank of
Lieutenant-Colonel and Colonel and their naval equivalents. 
Both Regular and Reserve Officers may attend.  International
officers, also eligible to attend, will come from various allied
and partner nations.  One further element of the student body
will be made up of senior government officials and may include
senior executives from Non-Government Organizations or the
private sector.

CFC has a requirement for a Contractor to provide a minimum of
four (4) qualified resources to be Senior Mentors for two (2)
programme years (commencing Aug 2013) of the NSP to be conducted
