So you want to attend the AUX-04 C-School?
Here's what you must do...
- First: You must determine if you have the computer skills required
- You should be familiar with the use of e-mail, web-surfing, saving and moving files
on your computer...these are just the basic skills. This course does not require previous
experience in Websites or PowerPoint, as it is designed for entry level students.
- Read the
Course Details and
Curriculum
to assess if you're ready to
tackle this computer intensive course. Here is a sample of
the
schedule for Alameda
- Note the prerequisites for the course.
- Second: Talk to other auxiliary members in your unit.
- Do they need a CS officer, or someone to assist the CS Officer? AUX-04 shows you how
to build a website.
- Talk to the MT or PE Officers, maybe they'd like someone that could develop or
assist in the development of unit training materials? AUX-04 shows you how to develop
your own PowerPoint presentations.
- Ask your PA Officer, he/she might need assistance. With the skills
learned at AUX-04, you could develop a presentation for a public information kiosk telling
the public about the Auxiliary and what your unit is doing in your area.
- Third: Okay you say YES to the above...what next?
- You must complete (fill-out) an Auxiliary Short Term Training Request (STTR).
Your unit may have this form or better yet, just download a copy of the
ANSC-7059.
- Check the latest
C-School list
on the C-School Portal website and choose the class
location/date you prefer.
- Forth: Give the completed STTR to your Flotilla Commander (FC).
- Your FC should sign the STTR and forward it onto your District DIRAUX.
- Your DIRAUX will collect all STTRs, review them and enter them into the Training
Database (Direct Access).
- The Chief Director's staff (G-OCX) will review the requests, enroll members,
and request orders be issued from the Training Quota Management Center.
- For FY2010, two classes are scheduled with only 36 seats
total. Hopefully, your
name will be on the list. Apply early (at least 90 days in advance of the class
date you prefer). Your DIRAUX will keep you informed.
- Fifth: After your STTR is on its way...
- Sixth: Complete the Pre-Class Assignments
...Good Luck! Hope to see you in class.
