NAVY SCHOOL MANAGEMENT MANUAL

INTRODUCTION
To accomplish the mission of providing efficient and effective
training, training activities are responsible for curriculum,
instruction, and evaluation. Chapters 1 through 5 discussed how
the training manager can manage the above areas through quality
leadership. Other areas do not clearly fall into these
categories and often overlap the three general areas. These
have been grouped in Chapter 6 as support functions. In this
chapter, the following will be discussed:

1.1. CeTARS. Provides the corporate database for formal

CNO; CNETC; BUPERS; BUMED; COMNAVCRUITCOM; and all ships and
stations, other departments, agencies services, contractors, and
authorized foreign governments. CeTARS is a Navy-wide automated
information system designed to manage and support the Navy

training managers and higher echelons of the Navy (e.g., OPNAV,
NRC, BUPERS) with student and course information.
OPNAVINST 1510.10 (series) governs CeTARS. OPNAV is the
system sponsor; NETC is the program manager, and the
NETPDTC is the project manager.
CeTARS stores and disseminates annual training plans, class
schedules, and quota allocations for all Navy courses. It
stores and disseminates data on the number of student
enrollments, graduates, non-graduates, disenrollment’s,
attrites, and setbacks; course utilization data and Average
