All initial and recertifications within the E-Training system for CO/OICs ashore, or letters for Cutter CO/OICs, must be signed by whom?

All initial and recertifications within the E-Training system for CO/OICs ashore, or letters for Cutter CO/OICs, must be signed by whom?

• A. Commanding Officer
• B. Executive Officer
• C. Operational Commander (this authority may be delegated in writing)
• D. Fleet Commander

Answer: (C)

The sign-off authority for all initial and recertifications in the E-Training system for CO/OICs (ashore) and Cutter CO/OICs is the Operational Commander. This person has the formal remit to approve qualifications across units and ensure consistent standards throughout the command. The rule allows this authority to be delegated in writing, so a designated representative can sign when the Operational Commander isn’t available, while still keeping proper accountability. The Commanding Officer is not the required signatory in this context, and the Executive Officer or Fleet Commander do not carry this specific approval role for these certifications.
