Which of the following is NOT a training environment for remaining OCCSTDS not selected to be taught in A school?

• A. OJT on-job training
• B. OBT on-board training
• C. Proficiency training
• D. Distance learning

Answer: (D)

Remaining OCCSTDS not selected to be taught in A school are trained through hands-on environments that place you in real or simulated work settings with supervision to ensure you can perform tasks correctly and safely. On-the-job training happens in the workplace under a qualified mentor, building practical skills as you apply tasks in real scenarios. On-board training continues that practical development in the actual operating environment, such as aboard a ship or unit, reinforcing performance in context. Proficiency training targets achieving and maintaining a defined level of performance on those tasks through structured practice and assessment. Distance learning, while useful for theory and self-study, does not provide the hands-on practice, supervision, or performance-based validation required for these OCCSTDS.
