The course is attended by students from Albania, Germany, Greece, Bulgaria, Kosovo, Italy, and Georgia.

At this accession, AAF invited as lecturer one of the faculty members of the Baltic Defense College for teaching. Dr. Sandis Šraders and COL (ret.) Dr. Cclirim Toci who gave lectures at SCSDS on several issues that challenge the security environment such as Russia, NATO's role, national interests and the dynamics of national power, the development of the war in Europe, and NATO as well as the military challenges that may arise from NATO.

This project was the first step in increasing the good cooperation agreed upon during the visit of the Albanian Defence Minister Niko Peleshi in June 2021 at the Baltic Defense College.
