Which of the following is NOT a requirement for becoming an Afloat Training Specialist?

Receiving two trainer evaluations from a certified Afloat Training Specialist is not a requirement for becoming an Afloat Training Specialist. The primary focus of the ATS qualification is on hands-on experience and demonstrated capability in training roles.

Training is critical and the other requirements emphasize practical experience in real-world settings. Completing at least one Fleet Response Training Cycle ensures that the specialist has relevant operational experience within the fleet. Serving in an ATGN training billet for a minimum period solidifies the individual’s role in a training capacity, inherently developing their skills in instruction and mentoring. Additionally, demonstrating sustained professional performance of duty highlights an ongoing commitment to excellence in their designated roles.

Thus, while evaluations are beneficial for personal growth, they are not mandated as formal requirements for obtaining the Afloat Training Specialist qualification.
