APPRENTICESHIP EXAMINATIONS
T h e N a v a l M i l i t a r y P e r s o n n e l M a n u al
(MILPERSMAN) gives commanding officers the
authority to advance qualified enlisted personnel to
E-2 and E-3 without numerical limitations. No
examination is required for advancement to E-2.
However, commands have the option of administering
E-3 apprenticeship examinations for AN, FN, and SN.
The examinations consist of 150 questions and are
administered and graded on a pass/fail basis by the
command: 100 questions are on the specific
apprenticeship and 50 questions on general military
requirements. These examinations are prepared at the
N a v a l E d u c a t i o n a n d T r a i n i n g P r o f e s s i o n al
Development and Technology Center (NETPDTC) by
chief petty officers from ratings associated with the
apprenticeships.
Those who graduated from the Apprenticeship
Training Program (ATP) satisfy the requirement for
completion of the AN/FN/SN course for advancement
to E-3. Examinations and scoring keys are available
on request from the NETPDTC.

DETERMINING CANDIDATES’
ELIGIBILITY TO TAKE THE
ADVANCEMENT EXAMINATION
Before examinations are ordered, recommenda-
tions for advancement should be solicited from the
departments through the use of recommendation
forms. (Although no standard form is used for this
purpose, figure 6-1 is an example of a form that can be
used.) The eligibility of all candidates should be
verified by a comparison of the information on the
forms with the information in their service records.
A deadline for the completion of all requirements
before the examination date is normally set by a
NAVADMIN. The deadline is usually the first of the
