SURFACE OPERATIONS POLICY EXAM
The Operations Policy Exam is now available and is required for all trainees
working on their Coxswain or PWC Operator qualification. This exam must be
successfully completed before the QE dockside oral exam and underway check ride
can be performed.
The exam, a 30 question open book exam, covers surface operations policies
located the Operations Policy Manual COMDTINST M16798.3 (series) and Chapter 4
of the Coast Guard Addendum to the United States National Search and Rescue
Supplement (NSS) COMDTINST M16130.2 (series). A score of 90% is required to pass
the exam.
The exam is available through the Auxiliary National Testing Center at:
http://ntc.cgaux.org/
Upon completing the test, you will receive notice if you have either passed or
not. If successful, your DIRAUX should get an electronic notification. Of
course, it is always a good idea to print a copy of any electronic notice you
receive in case the notice does not get to your DIRAUX for some reason and you
will need that notice for your mentor to sign off on that task.
Note: The on-line exams require that you are running Internet Explorer
5.0 or newer, Netscape 6.1 or newer or an equivalent release of AOL's browser.
It requires that you have JavaScript installed and enabled and that you have
your cookies enabled.
This exam is also available in hard copy from the Operations Training Officer (OTO)
in your district if you prefer.
