Which school category provides advanced specialized training and may award a NEC?

• A. C school provides advanced specialized training required to fill particular billet; NEC awarded.
• B. A school provides basic skills required to prepare for rating.
• C. F school provides functional skill for the fleet; NEC awarded.
• D. B school is for general education and not described here.

Answer: (A)

Advanced, billet-specific training and NECs are tied to the category that delivers specialized instruction for a particular billet. This category provides advanced training beyond the basics and may award a Navy Enlisted Classification to certify the sailor’s specialized skill. Other categories serve different purposes: one covers basic skills to prepare for the rating, another provides general education, and another focuses on functional skills for the fleet. Because only the specialized training category explicitly targets a specific billet and can confer an NEC, it best fits the description.
