ADVANCEMENT HANDBOOKS
Advancement Handbooks were developed to help
Sailors focus their study efforts for Navywide
advancement-in-rate examinations. The Advancement
Handbook provides skills and knowledge components
for each paygrade in each rate. The design of the
Advancement Handbooks is set up to present general
skill areas that are broken down into specific skills or
task expected of a rate.
Next it describes the
knowledge level of that task and the references that
support or teach the task. Finally, it describes the types
of questions that may appear on examinations. The
BIBs together with Advancement Handbooks form a
comprehensive examination study package.
Advancement Handbooks are only available in
electronic format on NETPDTC’s website.
MANDATORY TRAINING COURSE
REQUIREMENTS
There is no longer a requirement for ESOs to verify
the completion of NRTCs (formerly Rate Training
Manuals) for candidates to participate in the Navywide
examinations. HOWEVER, to compete for promotion
to the next higher paygrade, personnel must
demonstrate that they have the knowledge and
competence to successfully perform at the next higher
level. It is recommended that they demonstrate this
ability, in part, by completing NRTCs.
PERSONNEL ADVANCEMENT
REQUIREMENTS
Personnel Advancement Requirements (PARs) are
no longer required for advancement. HOWEVER, the
performance tests required by some ratings are still a
valid requirement for advancement. Ratings requiring
completion of a performance test can be found in
NAVPERS 18068F.
PERSONNEL QUALIFICATION
STANDARDS
The Personnel Qualification Standards (PQS)
Program qualifies officer and enlisted personnel to
perform certain duties. PQS is a compilation of the
knowledge and skills personnel must have to qualify
for a specific watchstation, maintain specific
equipment, or perform as a team member within a unit.
The ESO should know where to find PQS materials.
The Personnel Qualification Standards Catalog,
NAVEDTRA 43100-5, contains a key word listing of
all PQS requirements and PQS supplementary
products, their NAVEDTRA numbers, and their stock
