Online Testing
Any Auxiliarist may
take the on-line tests. For credit purposes, all
Districts have been authorized by the CHDIRAUX to
participate in the on-line testing program and
will receive credit towards qualification,
re-qualification or certification. The District
Director of Auxiliary and District Commodore of all
Districts have to approve participation in this
program prior to CHDIRAUX authorization. The on-line
tests are excellent practice and learning materials
for all Auxiliarists. (Note: D13, DIRAUX has
approved this process.)
"C" Schools: Don't pass
up the chance to attend a "C" school your job
requires. Many courses are now available, so
review course descriptions and schedules below.
When you find the "C" school you need, fill-out a
Short Term Training Request (CG-5523) and route to
your Flotilla Commander for approval.

 Team Coordination Training (TCT)
Team Coordination Training (TCT) is a
program that focuses on reducing the probability for
human error by increasing individual and team
effectiveness. Safety has long been the Commanding
Officer's responsibility and, until recently, was
assumed to be the logical result of finely tuned
technical skills. USCG mishap data suggests that while
technical skills are an essential component of any
job, they alone will not ensure safety.
