RMKS/1.  THE NAVAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
AND TECHNOLOGY CENTER (NETPDTC) IS IMPROVING THE NAVY'S NONRESIDENT
TRAINING COURSE (NRTC) ADMINISTRATION PROCESS BY SHIFTING COURSE
ADMINISTRATION RESPONSIBILITIES FROM INDIVIDUAL COMMANDS TO A
CENTRAL SITE AT NETPDTC.  PER REF A, NRTCS REMAIN AN ESSENTIAL PART
OF EVERY COMMAND'S PROGRAM TO DEVELOP THEIR SAILORS PROFESSIONALLY
AND PREPARE THEM FOR ADVANCEMENT.  THESE COURSES WILL CONTINUE TO BE
READILY AVAILABLE FOR ADVANCEMENT STUDY AND SELF-IMPROVEMENT.
 
2.  AS WAREHOUSE STOCKS OF PAPER NRTCS ARE DEPLETED, STUDENTS WILL
ENROLL IN COURSES, BY NAME AND SSN, AT NETPDTC.  STUDENTS MAY ENROLL
VIA INTERNET, E-MAIL, LETTER, FAX, OR PHONE.  UNCLASSIFIED COURSE
MATERIAL WILL BE AVAILABLE ON-LINE OR PRINTED ON DEMAND AND MAILED
TO THE STUDENT'S COMMAND OR HOME.  CLASSIFIED COURSE MATERIAL WILL
BE MAILED TO THE STUDENT'S COMMAND.  FOR ALL UNCLASSIFIED AND
CLASSIFIED COURSES, STUDENTS MAY COMPLETE ANSWER SHEETS FOR
ASSIGNMENTS ON-LINE OR MAIL COMPLETED ASSIGNMENTS BACK TO NETPDTC.
NETPDTC WILL GRADE ASSIGNMENTS, MAINTAIN REGISTRAR DATA ON EACH
STUDENT, AND REPORT RESULTS TO THE STUDENT.
 
3.  THE PROCESS OF SHIFTING RESPONSIBILITY FOR COURSE ADMINISTRATION
FROM INDIVIDUAL COMMANDS TO NETPDTC WILL BE PHASED-IN COMMENCING IN
JAN 01, AS WAREHOUSE STOCK IS EXHAUSTED.  ANTICIPATE FULL
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN TO CENTRALLY ADMINISTER NTRCS AT NETPDTC
WILL OCCUR IN CY 02.
 
4.  NETPDTC WILL ANNOUNCE DETAILS, EVENTS, AND PROCEDURES OF THE NEW
PROCESS VIA:
    A.  NETPDTC WEB SITE: WWW.ADVANCEMENT.CNET.NAVY.MIL (ALL LOWER
CASE)
    B.  CATALOG OF NRTCS (NAVEDTRA 12061 PUBLICATION)
    C.  EXAM NAVADMIN MESSAGES
    D.  OTHER MEANS AS APPROPRIATE
 
5.  TO FACILITATE THIS CHANGE, THE CHIEF OF NAVAL EDUCATION AND
TRAINING IS FORWARDING LETTERS TO COMMANDING OFFICERS AND OFFICERS
IN CHARGE, TO BE SHARED WITH COMMAND MASTER CHIEFS, EDUCATIONAL
SERVICES OFFICERS, TRAINING OFFICERS, AND CAREER COUNSELORS,
OUTLINING THE EXACT PROCEDURES TO FOLLOW DURING THE PHASE-IN
PROCESS.  AS WITH ANY MAJOR CHANGE TO A PROCESS THAT HAS BEEN IN
PLACE FOR MANY YEARS, THERE WILL BE SOME PERIOD OF ADJUSTMENT AS WE
BRING THIS NEW PROCESS ON LINE.  ANY COMMAND EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS
SHOULD CONTACT THE NETPDTC POC IDENTIFIED ABOVE.
 
6.  THIS IMPROVED PROCESS WILL ASSIST IN REDUCING THE ADMINISTRATIVE
BURDEN ON INDIVIDUAL COMMANDS WHILE ENSURING THAT THE NTRC PROGRAM
REMAINS RESPONSIVE TO SAILORS' NEEDS.
