C-School Courses
Auxiliary C-Schools are formal training classes funded by the Coast Guard and taught by Coast Guard
or Auxiliary members. They are topic-specific and are usually just a few days in length. Different
courses are held all over the county, and getting approved for one of these courses is quite an honor.
You can find the current schedule of C-Schools on the Auxiliary C-School Website:
https://wow.uscgaux.info/content.php?unit=aux00
C-School Facts:
1. Funding for C-Schools is variable. Sometimes there are reimbursable travel orders available, and sometimes not. Each class is different, and it also depends on how far you are traveling.
2. You may not hear if you have been approved for a C-School course until just a week or two before the course starts. You must accept the C-School once accepted, so make sure you can really attend (get time off work, can afford the travel, etc.).
3. If you are a “no show” to a C-School, you may not be allowed to attend another one for up to 3 years, so be sure you can really attend before you apply.
Applying for C-School:
1. Once you find a C-School that you are interested in attending, complete the STTR Training Request Form (form 7059). See page 2 for the directions on how to fill it out properly. Make sure all required sections are completed.
STTR – link to: http://forms.cgaux.org/archive/a7059.pdf
2. Have your Flotilla Command sign your completed STTR
3. Forward your signed and completed STTR to DIRAUX
For more information about C-Schools, visit the AUX C–School website @ https://wow.uscgaux.info/content.php?unit=aux00 or your FSO-MT
