ROYAL COLLEGE Of defenCE STUDIES (RCDS): 1993 COURSE
1.
The Chiefs of Staff have decided to invite the country to which you are accredited to nominate one candidate to attend the 1993 RCDS course. I should be grateful if you would convey this invitation to the appropriate authorities. In doing so, please bear in mind that, as you will see from the attached guidance notes, students do not have to be members of the Armed Forces, but may be civilians from Foreign or Defence Ministries. The RCDS welcome a good mixture of participants.
2.
The course is scheduled to run from January to December 1993. Exact dates, joining instructions, and the Commandant's letter of welcome will be sent to you for onward transmission to the candidate nominated. The enclosed College brochure for 1992 lists at Annex C the participants on this year's course. It is recommended that married students be accompanied by their families wherever possible but this has to be at their own expense.
3.
Course fees for 1993 are not yet established. As a guide, the basic tuition fee this year is £16,700 to which the cost of the integral UK and overseas tours (say, between £3,000 and £5,000 depending on the area visited) must be added. An additional expense is the cost of renting furnished accommodation in London for the duration of the course.
4. I should be grateful if you would confirm as soon as possible, preferably before the end of July by telegram to MODUK info RCDS and FCO, that the invitation is accepted in principle. The candidate's
