(The online testing
rules can be found at http://cgexams.info/testing/ExamRules.htm.
This same information, has been reformatted, below, for clarity ). Tom Miller, Div
5, SO-CS
U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary members
in all Districts may take these exams for credit:
Any Auxiliarist may take the on-line
tests. For credit purposes, all Districts have been authorized by the
CHDIRAUX to participate in the on-line testing program and will
receive credit towards qualification, re-qualification or certification.
The District Director(s) of Auxiliary and District Commodore(s) of all
Districts have to approve participation in this program prior to
CHDIRAUX authorization. The on-line tests are excellent practice and
learning materials for all Auxiliarists. (Note:
D13, DIRAUX has approved this process.)
IT, MDV, Pilot, Air Observer
or VE exams
For members taking IT, MDV, Pilot, Air Observer
or VE exams, the e-mail notice of passing represents only part of the
qualification process, and the e-mail is the only notice given to the
member. Members passing the series 95 NavRules receive only a
notice that they have passed, and again their DIRAUX, and National
Testing Center updates AuxData.
FSO and FC are also allowed to finish
the qualification process via the website for IT, MDV and VE. They
access the site at http://www.auxetrain.org
and go to the qualification input section. There they fill in the form
which is sent. This form will be used by DIRAUX to input the IT, MDV and
VE qualifications into AuxData. National Testing Center
acknowledges the form to the sender when sent to DIRAUX . If an
acknowledgement is not received within 24 hours, FCs should use the
query form at the website.
APC exam
Members passing the APC exam, receive an email, and additionally will
receive a certificate at their Flotilla meeting. Members failing
an exam receive an email informing them of the areas in the exam they
missed, and the sections of the manual they need to review, members
passing receive the same information.
-
There is no time limit on
retaking the exam.
-
However, there is a time limit of
three hours for taking the open book exams.
-
Members taking exams that do not
receive a reply within 24 hours should e-mail e-training &
testing via the input form at the website or staff@auxetrain.org,
as there is a problem somewhere if the 24 hour time limit is
exceeded. The most common problem is a bad return email address.
