ABC Shortage

The Auxiliary Center is experiencing a temporary shortage of the America’s
Boating Course (Stock #10060) books and CDs. ABC Central advised us their
printer will ship books directly to us shortly. We expect them to arrive by
May 1, 2007 and start shipping pending orders at that time. Your cooperation
and patience is appreciated.

IT Course On-Line & Paper-Based Exams Availability 

With the introduction of the new “Instructor Development Course” (IDC) in
January 2007, a new standard was established for instructor training in the
Auxiliary. Recognizing there were members involved and needing to complete
the old “Instructor Training” (IT) course, those members will still have the
IT exam on-line and in ANSC until 1 May 2007. At that point, new members
starting instructor training must use the “Instructor Development Course”.
Members currently taking the IT course are advised to complete their
coursework and take the exam prior to 1 May 2007 to become qualified in the
program.
