Chief Petty Officer Indoctrination Course
The CPOIC is a 25-hour onboard training course
designed to prepare newly selected CPOs for transition
from PO1 to CPO. The course is designed to answer as
many questions as possible regarding this major
milestone in a Navy person’s career. The I.G.
(NAVEDTRA 38203) and S.J. (NAVEDTRA 38202)
are divided into the following 10 subject matter areas:
1. Introduction to the Chief Petty Officer
Indoctrination course
2. Professionalism
3. Communication skills
4. Management skills
5. Leadership skills
6. Command climate
7. Counseling
8. Chief petty officer’s quarters and messes
9. Navy programs and policies (for example, the
Substance Abuse, Equal Opportunity, and
Sexual Harassment Programs)
10. CPO uniforms history, requirements, and
regulations
Ordering CPOIC and POIC Publications
Since the CPOIC and POIC publications are
updated annually, the ESO should order new S.J.s and
I.G.s for each CPO advancement cycle. The normal
issue for each training package is 1 I.G. for every 15
S.J.s. The ESO should order the courses using the
electronic MILSTRIP format. Your supply department
should be able to provide you assistance with the
MILSTRIP. The Catalog of Nonresident Training
Courses, NAVEDTRA 12061, provides detailed
ordering procedures.
Q11. Can E-4 personnel be frocked or advanced
without completing the Petty Officer (POIC)
Indoctrination course?
Q12. Who can authorize frocking for student CPO
selectees before they complete the CPOIC if the
course is available at the training command?
Q13. Who should be the organizational coordinator
for both POIC and CPOIC Indoctrination
Courses?
Q14. How many components do the CPOIC and POIC
onboard training packages consist of?
SUMMARY
The ESO works extensively with the Naval
Correspondence Course Program. All Navy personnel
will need to take a course at some time. The ESO needs
to know how to obtain the courses and how to
administer them. The Catalog of Nonresident Training
Courses, NAVEDTRA 12061, contains the most
current titles, NAVEDTRA numbers, and stock
numbers. He or she should keep an adequate supply of
TRAMANs and NRTCs on hand for the various
command rates and ratings.
The Bibliography for Advancement-In-Rate Study
is the most important study guide available for enlisted
personnel preparing for advancement. NETPDTC
publishes the Bibliography for Advancement-In-Rate
for each rating. BIBs list publications (called
references for advancement exam study purposes)
commonly used in a rating. These same references are
used by the exam writer (a chief petty officer) to
support exam questions; exam candidates are,
therefore, strongly urged to study them. These BIBs are
not distributed automatically; therefore, the ESO is
responsible for ensuring they are available to
command personnel.
The CPOIC and POIC must be available after each
exam cycle. Petty officers cannot be frocked or
advanced without completing the appropriate course.
