For high-risk small boat operator training, a minimum instructor-to-student ratio of 1:4 is required during daytime evolutions and 1:3 during nighttime evolutions to ensure adequate supervision and safety.

An individual instructor may oversee Instructor-Led Training (ILT) sessions.

At a minimum, all contracted personnel responsible for conducting training must meet the qualifications outlined below. These qualifications must be documented and submitted to the bidding contractor for verification. Acceptable forms of substantiating documentation include course graduation certificates, letters of appointment, or other official records or correspondence.

Senior or LEAD INSTRUCTOR

1. The Senior/Lead Instructor Possession of a valid US Coast Guard Masters License - A 100 Ton

Masters License with a near coastal endorsement is desirable.

ALL INSTRUCTORS

1. Boat Captain qualified for the Small Craft and/or Naval Special Warfare (NSW) 11M RIB qualified

2. Patrol Leader qualified for the Small Craft and/or Naval Expeditionary Combat Command

(NECC) RIB.

a) Rationale: To teach a “Train-2-Qualify” Course, the instructor must have been qualified on the platform he/she is instructing.

3. Qualified as a 2nd Class Swimmer at a minimum.

a) Rationale: Practical application tasks place in harbors and open ocean environments in an open cockpit. Students (or an instructor) may fall into the water.

4. Small Craft Coxswain qualified for the 11-Meter Willard RIB by the US Navy or Coast Guard.

a) Rationale: To teach a “Train-2-Qualify” Course, the instructor must have been qualified on the platform he/she is instructing.

5. Served in a training department of an active-duty US Navy or US Coast Guard command.

a) Rationale: Instructors will maintain good order and disciple in the classroom using a military system. The instructor must understand this and have been a leader. Instructors also interact with military ranks from E-1 to O-6.

6. Navy NEC 9502 instructor qualification (or other service equivalent)

a) Rationale: Students will all be military members; ensures instructors are trained in the delivery of instructional material.

7. Normal color vision (must not be color blind).

a) Rationale: The buoyage system for maritime navigation is color coded.

8. Physically capable of standing for prolonged periods on small crafts, while wearing 20 lbs. of flotation, communications, and other gear.

a) Rationale: The instructors will be standing on the boat for 8-12 hours in a normal day during practical application.

9. Capable of working on an open deck small craft in all weather.

a) Rationale: The operational environment is not always sunny. It rains, there is fog and cold. Instructors must provide their own foul weather gear and safety equipment.

10. Possess current CPR/1st Aid Certifications (American Red Cross/American Heart Association).

a) Rationale: The training is at times High Risk and instructors may have the need to administer CPR/1st Aid. Also, portions of training will be offshore, and no medical care is immediately available.

11. Pass a security background check (National Crime Information Center).

a) Rationale: Working with military members and government equipment, the instructor position requires someone without a criminal record.

12. Hold, a valid SECRET clearance.

a) Rationale: While the course is unclassified, access to the command requires clearance.

The use of green gear for instruction requires a clearance.

13. Must have a valid state driver’s license.

a) Rationale: The contracted instructors may be required to drive various types of government vehicles while conducting the three-week course.

14. Background in the creation and delivery of Concept of Operations (CONOPs) briefing to staff level officers and Government Specialist (GS) personnel.

a) Rationale: The Small Craft Operator course has a requirement to create and plan operations with command during the course. This includes the creation of briefs and explanations of small craft operations which are delivered to the senior staff (CO, XO, and Operations Officer). The senior staff has limited time. The instructors must ensure the brief, given by student, is correct and ready for presentation from both an operational point and Operational Risk Management (ORM) point.

15. Small Craft troubleshooting knowledge, skills, and abilities.

a) Rationale: The Small Craft will, from time-to-time, break down or have issues. The course instructors will need to be able to quickly and safety handle these issues.

16. Successfully complete Drug Screen (5-panel DOT).
