perform at the next higher level. The Navy requires
that they demonstrate this ability by completing
mandatory rate training manuals. (See part 10 of the
C a t a l o g o f N o n r e s i d e n t T r a i n i n g C o u r s e s,
NAVEDTRA 12061) and other advancement
requirements, such as Personnel Advancement
Requirements (PARs) and performance tests.
F o r E - 3 , c o m p l e t i o n o f B a s i c M i l i t a ry
Requirements (BMR) and Airman (AN), or Fireman
(FN), or Seaman (SN) satisfies the course eligibility
requirements for members who did not attend
apprenticeship training. Graduating from the
Apprenticeship Training Program (ATP) satisfies the
requirements for completion of the AN, FN, or SN
requirement. Graduation from ATP DOES NOT
satisfy the BMR requirement.
For E-4 through E-9, certain mandatory military
and rate courses must be completed to satisfy
advancement eligibility requirements. Successful
completion of Class “A ” school fulfills th e
requirement for completion of the mandatory rate
course when participating in the E-4 examination
ONLY (does not apply to CT and PH ratings). Any
other advancement requirement at E-4 (e.g., military
courses,PARs, performance tests) must be completed.
Successfully complete the NRTC based on the
TRAMAN. See the following special notes
concerning NRTCs and TRAMANs:
Not Repeating Completed Mandatory Course
Requirements. Candidates are NOT required to
complete the revised edition of a course if they
have completed the previously required edition.
For example, a candidate for STGC who has
previously completed the STG 1&C course as a
candidate for STG1 would not be required to
complete a revised STG 1&C course for future
examination cycles. Revisions may also involve
splitting existing courses into modules or
consolidating existing courses into single
editions. In cases of rating mergers, candidates
may be tasked with completing a revision that
reflects knowledge and skills of the merged
ratings.
C o m p l e t i n g A d d e d M a n d a t o r y C o u r se
Requirements. If a mandatory course is
ADDED to the paygrade for which candidates
are competing, they must complete the added
requirement. For example, an E-4 has
completed the mandatory course requirement
f o r E - 5 , a n d a n e w m a n d a t o r y c o u r se
requirement, such as the Navy Electricity and
Electronics Training Series, Module 18, is added
to the E-5 paygrade. The E-4 MUST complete
the added requirement.
Waiving Mandatory Course Requirement. If a
course is not available in the supply system, the
mandatory requirement for completion may be
waived by COMNAVPERSCOM (PERS-852 or
PERS-862) only; unless specifically delegated
to command officers by NAVADMIN message.
Q8.
Graduating from the Apprenticeship Training
Program (ATP) satisfies the requirement
for completion of what course(s)?
PERSONNEL ADVANCEMENT
REQUIREMENTS
Personnel Advancement Requirements (PARs) are
required for advancement to paygrades E-4 through
E-7 or a change in rating. They are not required for
advancement to paygrades E-1, E-2, E-3, E-8, or E-9.
PARs are skills and abilities that can best be
demonstrated by actual performance. Generally, each
PAR encompasses one or more occupational standards
on the same or similar subjects, and is written in
on-the-job rating language. PARs are noncompetitive
and no relative or absolute mark is assigned.
Completion indicates the candidate can perform the
tasks. PARs are developed by the same chief petty
o f f i c e r s w h o d e v e l o p s a d v a n c e m e n t - i n - r a te
examinations.
Completion of PARs is MANDATORY for
advancement. Commands should make every attempt
to ensure PARs are completed by personnel before they
are recommended for advancement. Due to limitations
in command equipment, mission, and operations,
some personnel may not be able to demonstrate all
PARs. In these cases, actual demonstration of ability is
not mandatory. However, the recommendation for
advancement must be based on the command being
satisfied that the individual has the necessary ability to
perform properly at the higher paygrade at the present
command and at other commands.
PARs sheets are not designed to replace other
q u a l i f i c a t i o n p r o g r a m s s u c h a s P e r s o n n el
Qualification Standards (PQS). PARs items that
duplicate “sign off” items in these types of programs
can be signed off as a PARs item if they have already
been signed off under any of these types of programs.
PARs sheets are available through the Navy Supply
System (see the Catalog of Nonresident Training
4-8
