The Auxiliary offers it's members a multitude of training opportunities.  Most training is accomplished the traditional way through Member Training Officers, mentoring, workshops, classes,& nbsp; hands-on experience and self study. Much of the study material can now be downloaded from the internet and testing can be done in your own home, at your convenience, on-line.
 
To assist  members in accomplishing their training objectives and simplify the process the 13th District has approved on-line testing whenever available.  Open book tests do not require a proctor and may be taken at your convenience, day or night.  Closed book tests require that a proctor be present when you take the test.  All AUXOP certified members of the 13th Dist. are eligible proctors.  Refer to the AuxOp Proctors webpage for details.

E-test results are automatically entered into AuxData II.  You do not need to send the test results to DirAux for entry.  Members may track their course completion progress by viewing their training records on AuxData II or .
 
Upon taking an on-line examination, the examination results will be displayed on the members computer, within seconds of pressing the submit button.  The results will include whether or not a member has passed, the test score received and the questions missed, if any.
 
Additional training is offered through Class C Schools (known as "C" Schools).  They are Short Term Resident Training.  These schools are usually one week or less and are paid for out of "training" funds.  You donate your time and the Coast Guard pays for the travel costs.  An Auxiliary C-School Portal website has been developed, designed as a one-stop portal for all USCG Auxiliary members looking for information about Auxiliary C-School programs.  It includes information about who is eligible to attend, how to apply, how to acquire orders, class schedules, etc.  (Note regarding C-School - Due to the extremely limited quotas available to these schools, Auxiliarists are ineligible to attend if previously enrolled in any Auxiliary national school within the past thirty-six months.  Waivers of this policy must be submitted directly to the Chief Director.)
