Summary/Abstract: Teaching means the formation of skills, attitudes, values through learning process. The aforementioned should also be observed when supporting lecturers. The seminars “From Lecturer to Lecturer”, the Summer Academy, the mentoring system and also classroom observation in essence are united through one single goal – to make the lecturer feel that he or she is not abandoned with the load of lessons to teach, to enable discussions between colleagues and through fostering learning from each other also improve both teaching and learning and make it more fascinating. The most important factor here is the fact that through supporting activities the students of the ENDC receive the training that enables them as future leaders to develop their competences as commanders, administrators, teachers, diplomats and technicians and that promotes the sustainability of the ENDC and employer expectations. Furthermore, all graduates of the ENDC in their first position of service become teachers of conscripts and in the future also prospective lecturers in the ENDC.
