AUXILIARY CORE TRAINING (AUXCT)
Auxiliary Core Training (AUXCT)
Auxiliary Core Training (AUXCT) is a series of training courses focused on supporting Coast Guard Auxiliarists’ assignment and performance of duties. The Coast Guard is required to ensure that its Auxiliarists are appropriately trained, tested, and found competent before being assigned to duty. The course selection is a minimum baseline of organizational familiarity and expectation supporting this goal. The value of this training has formed the core of every Auxiliarist’s pledge and commitment to support the Coast Guard and abide by its governing policies.
AUXCT contains a series of courses that members must take as a one-time requirement upon joining the Auxiliary or re-certify once every five years.

Records in AUXDATA II
As members complete each course and pass the quiz with 80% or greater, a certificate of completion will be issued. This result will be automatically uploaded to your Aux Data II training file within approximately 1 week after completing the training. The member should maintain the certificate of course completion in the event it is needed.
