Effective operations rely not only on technical capability, but on clear structure, consistent terminology and robust reporting frameworks. Within defence, security and government environments, doctrine and policy provide the foundation for planning, communication and capability development.
The Doctrine & Policy training course from EWS equips personnel with a working understanding of key frameworks and methodologies used to structure capability planning and reporting. The course focuses on recognised models such as TEPIDOIL and DLODS, ensuring participants can apply these approaches in real organisational contexts.
Participants will learn how to interpret, structure and present information clearly, supporting decision-making, programme development and operational planning.
This course provides a structured introduction to the principles of doctrine and policy, focusing on how frameworks and standardised formats support effective communication and capability development.
Participants will develop the ability to apply recognised models to real-world scenarios, ensuring outputs are aligned with organisational and operational requirements.
Key topics covered include:
By the end of the course, participants will be able to produce clear, structured outputs that align with established frameworks and standards.
The course focuses on the practical application of frameworks and structured thinking, enabling participants to communicate complex information effectively.
The TEPIDOIL model is widely used to assess and develop capability across multiple lines.
Participants will explore each component in detail:
This module demonstrates how TEPIDOIL supports comprehensive capability planning and ensures all critical areas are considered.
The DLODS framework provides a structured approach to capability development within defence environments.
Participants will learn how DLODS aligns with operational requirements and supports long-term planning, including:
Understanding DLODS ensures participants can contribute to structured planning processes within complex organisations.
