Examinations Working Group

46 USC 7510, originally published as section 315 of the 2015 Coast Guard Authorization Act (CGAA), requires the United States Coast Guard to commission a working group to review existing and new examination questions for accuracy and availability of examination references. To address the tasks to be performed and in keeping with the membership structure of the group as specified in the CGAA, the working group is to include:

Representatives from Coast Guard-approved training providers
A Deck representative from the State Maritime Academies
An Engineering representative from the State Maritime Academies
Credentialed Deck officers or ratings

Credentialed Engineering officers or ratings
A Human Performance Technology representative
A member of the Merchant Marine Personnel Advisory Committee
A member of MARAD
Members of other Federal Advisory Committees as needed to review industry segment specific subject matter.

Examination working groups may be convened as long as any non-Coast Guard representative is present. Examination review will take place at the National Maritime Center and possibly at some regional locations.

The Coast Guard is continuously seeking applications from interested parties to participate in the Examination Working Group. To be considered, please *email all of the following documents to NMCExamWorkingGroup@uscg.mil:

1. Résumé - Click here for what your resume should include.

2. Non-Disclosure Agreement.

*Email is the preferred method of submission and should not exceed 8MB. If so, they should be sent in separate emails (please put the order of attachments in the Subject line of each email). The system will not accept any compressed (ZIP) files. For other submission methods, please call (206) 815-6893.
