supervisor is to ensure policy provided by the training
managers and higher authority is carried out at the course
level.
Instructors are any officer, enlisted, civil service or
contract personnel whose duties involve teaching or
evaluating in the classroom, laboratory, or other learning
environment.
1.2. General Staff Training Requirements
Each category of personnel may receive any or a combination
of three types of training:
Formal training
Certification training
In-Service (IS) training.
To complete training in a training path, personnel may be
required to complete one formal course or several,
depending on the assignment.
LC personnel are generally categorized as managers. This
is also true for the commanding officer (CO), executive
officer (XO) and other LS/DET/Participating Activity
identified billets. The number of non-instructor positions
at an LS/DET/Participating Activity should be minimized.
Most LS/DET/Participating Activity personnel shall be
initially assigned duties as instructors and may later be
assigned as course/curriculum supervisor or curriculum
maintenance personnel.
Personnel who have duties in more than one category, or who
are reassigned from one category to another, will complete
the required training for each category prior to assuming
responsibility for the new assignment.
Ensure that commercial certifications are obtained in
accordance with current guidelines via the LC CO.
1.2.1. Instructor Certification training is designed to prepare
personnel to assume duties as instructors in a specific course
or series of courses. This training is designed to prepare
personnel to teach in a course or segment of a course without
the direct supervision of a certified course instructor.
1.2.3. Course Supervisors are responsible for ensuring
certification requirements for instructors are being met. This
information should be specific to the course and annotated in
