ABC Shortage

The Auxiliary Center is experiencing a temporary shortage of the America’s Boating Course (Stock #10060) books and CDs. ABC Central advised us their printer will ship books directly to us shortly. We expect them to arrive by May 1, 2007 and start shipping pending orders at that time. Your cooperation and patience is appreciated.

IT Course On-Line & Paper-Based Exams Availability

With the introduction of the new “Instructor Development Course” (IDC) in January 2007, a new standard was established for instructor training in the Auxiliary. Recognizing there were members involved and needing to complete the old “Instructor Training” (IT) course, those members will still have the IT exam on-line and in ANSC until 1 May 2007. At that point, new members starting instructor training must use the “Instructor Development Course”. Members currently taking the IT course are advised to complete their coursework and take the exam prior to 1 May 2007 to become qualified in the program.
