Welcome to Civil Air Patrol Introductory Communications User Training (ICUT). This is the initial training for all CAP personnel using CAP radios. This course replaces both the Basic Communications User training (BCUT) and the Advanced Communication Users training (ACUT).

ICUT is offered online and includes several segments of produced video instruction. Subsequent skills evaluation by a mentor/evaluator is also required. The only prerequisites for ICUT are being an active CAP cadet or senior member, as defined by CAPR 39-2, Civil Air Patrol Membership, and completion of OPSEC training. All members with duties including unsupervised operation of radios on CAP frequencies must complete ICUT training.

Members authorized to operate on CAP frequencies as of August, 2012 including for both Communications Program and ES Program, as well as other administrative reasons, must re-qualify within 3 years by taking the first module of the ICUT course, Orientation to the CAP Communications System, and completing the review quiz and online test.

Completion of the ICUT modules on operation of VHF-FM radios and standard radio operating procedures is optional for those previously qualified for a CAPF 76, Radio Station Authorization.

The course is made up of 3 sections: OP1, T1, and OP2.
