BCQP is 22 years old
• The Boat Crew Qualification Program is
intended to facilitate the qualification of
members in surface operations, not to act as a
“rite of passage” or an unnecessary burden
• The process must be professional and
complete
• Not all Auxiliary members are suited for surface
operations roles, even if motivated.

QEs are Extensions of OTO
• The DIRAUX Operations and Training
Officer cannot perform evaluations of
candidates, but the OTO is the CG
individual that certifies members.
• QEs are the objective and subjective
evaluators for the OTO.
• QEs must be the best and most
experienced coxswains possible to be
most effective.

QEs
• Evaluate a candidate as a team member or
leader in stressful situations. A coxswain, for
example, holds the ultimate safety of the crew
and vessel in their hands.
• Evaluate seamanship, specific task/procedure
skills
• Evaluate future independent performance safely,
under USCG policy, and as a USCG
representative

The Check Ride…
…is the candidate evaluation opportunity
First District Northern Region
2006 January Conference: Check Ride Scenarios
The Check Ride …
• is inherently stressful for the candidate: real
capabilities become visible because of training
and candidate’s own confidence in the face of
evaluation stress.
• QEs must observe and let the candidate make
decisions….but step in and terminate any
evolution that has become unsafe. (The
coxswain-of-record is ultimately responsible for
safety.)
• QEs explain their evaluations, not remain forever
silent and only say go/no-go at the end.

Before Any Check Ride
Candidates must truly be ready. Mentors must
agree. The Flotilla Commander must agree
(either through personal knowledge or by
knowledge of the FSO-MT and/or FSO-OP).
Many people are involved with a check ride
(facilities, crews, QEs, candidate(s)); it is
important to make sure this will be a productive
session, and not revert to a training session

Prior to the Crew Check Ride
• Question:
What does the QE ask the candidate
BEFORE the crew dockside examination
or underway check task starts?
(presuming candidate has their Qualification Guide
with them, another pre-requisite!)

Prior to the Crew Check Ride
Answer:
• Are ALL mentor tasks complete and signed
(including TCT task completion, BCM-01-03AUX)?
• Has the crew candidate submitted their Direct
Operational security check material?
• Does the candidate have the certificate of
completion of an authorized boating course so
the QE can sign that task (BCM-08-01-AUX)?

Prior to the Coxswain Check Ride
Answer: (for initial qualification check ride)
• Is the candidate currently certified as crew: not in REYR,
not in REWK?
• Does the candidate have evidence of 28 hours underway
as crew so the QE can sign that task (COX-01-01-AUX)?
• Are ALL mentor tasks complete and signed?
• Has the coxswain candidate submitted their Direct
Operational security check material?
• Does the candidate have proof of NavRules completion
so the QE can sign that task (COX-04-01-AUX)?
