What are the two types of Coast Guard training?

• A. Resident and Non-resident
• B. On-the-job and Classroom
• C. Online and In-person
• D. Officer and Enlisted

Answer: (A)

Coast Guard training is categorized by how the instruction is delivered in terms of location and relocation. One format is resident training, where you attend a formal course at a Coast Guard school or training center and live on-site for the duration. The other format is non-resident training, where you complete the course while remaining at your duty station, often through distance learning, self-study, or on-the-job instruction, without relocating. This distinction matters because it affects whether you need to move to a training facility or can continue your duties at your current unit while studying. The other options describe different dimensions of training (such as mode or role) but they do not reflect the official two-format classification used here.
