                                                and references that are essential in learning. 

                                                The library also houses various audio-visual 

                                                instructional aids that are used to supplement 

                                                the instruction received from the respective 

                                                instructors. It also has various computers with 

                                                internet connection for the students to utilize

                                                in gaining additional research materials that

                                                are not available in the library.

                Is a state of the art classroom equipped with 

                the latest audio visual equipment. Among 

                them are a wide screen projector with an 

                advanced sound system and a computer with

                motorized back draft. The room is also equipped 

                with an air conditioning system that regulates the

                temperature to have an environment that is

                conducive for learning.

SPEECH LABORATORY        

                                               The speech laboratory is one of the crowning glories 

                                               of the Officer Candidate School. It gives the Officer 

                                               Candidates a chance to improve on their diction and 

                                               pronunciation of words. It has a central hub wherein 

                                               the instructor can    individually hear the speech given

                                               by the Officer Candidates and can be corrected 

                                               accordingly and without the other Officer Candidates’ 

                                               knowledge because

                                               they are isolated by cubicles and individually use 

                                               their own headsets.

SKILLS PROFICIENCY ROOM

                                                military equipment and weapons. Given the time, 

                                                an Officer Candidate can fully utilize these tools 

                                               for practice and honing of their individual military 

                                               skills.
