Personnel selected to become cadet Commissars are drawn from the [[Schola Progenium]] - [[Ecclesiarchy]]-run schools where the pupils have already received a strict [[Imperial Cult]] education. The training of Cadet Commissars lasts for an indeterminate length of time, and their advancement depends entirely upon the judgment of the full/senior Commissar responsible for their development. Training may involve deployment as part of a '''Commissar Training Squad'''{{Fn|4}} and/or secondment to an individual full/senior Commissar.{{Cite This}}
Cadet Commissars can advance to full Commissarial rank in numerous ways including immediate promotion following their grauation of the Schola Progenium, cross-promotion from [[Storm Trooper]] deployments or assignment to a Commisssar for further field training, where after which they can then be promoted or assigned to a further developmental role as a '''Junior Commissar'''.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|2626a}} Full Commissars can be further advanced to senior roles within the Commissariat such as '''Commissar-Captain'''{{Fn|11}}, '''Lord Commissar'''{{Fn|1a}}, or '''Commissar-General'''.{{Fn|8}} The exact method of advancement to these positions is unclear.
