NAVY SCHOOL MANAGEMENT MANUAL

Class schedules shall be submitted annually when
specifically requested by NETC message. As a result
of annual feasibility studies, updated student input
plans are not entered into CeTARS Schoolhouse until
just prior to calling for the schedules. Therefore,
do not submit schedules prior to the call.
When resource limitations such as staff, personnel,
equipment, or facilities impact the ability to conduct
classes as scheduled, an Impaired Training and Education
Report (ITER) shall be submitted immediately. Refer to
NETCINST 1540.1 (series). Recommendations to cancel a
class convening due to resource limitations will be
resolved by NETC through the ITER reporting process.
Delaying a class convene for reasons other than resource
limitations is not the same as canceling a class. When a
considering delaying a class convene, ensure the decision
is based on sound cost benefit analysis. An example,
delaying 15 students for three days while awaiting the
arrival of two students in a course that convenes weekly is
not cost effective. However, delaying the same 15 students
three days in a course that convenes quarterly is
justified. If the delay is expected to exceed 15 days,
submit an ITER.
Classes that do not convene due to a total lack of students
or insufficient student numbers to meet a safety
requirement are exempt from submitting an ITER.
SECTION 11 - STUDENT QUOTA MANAGEMENT
11.1. The overall objective of the Navy Training quota
management process is to train the right quantity of personnel
at the right time. The quota management is directly related to
training requirements and class schedules. Training
requirements are determined, class schedules are submitted to
CeTARS schoolhouse, and quotas are spread. The Planning
Management Office performs centralized quota control for "A" and
"C" and NEC producing pipelines. OPNAVINST 1500.47 (series)
describes the Navy Training Quota Management Process. Quotas
for "F,” “T’ and “D” schools are normally controlled by the
TSC/department, however; in some instances, OPNAV (N132)
controls quotas in these type courses as well.
In the event OPNAV is unable to fill quotas in "A" and "C"
schools due to non-availability of personnel or lack of
TAD/PCS funds, seats may be filled locally. If quotas for
"A" and "C” schools are not filled 30 days prior to class
3-35
