Station Training

Station Training refers to the basic training that members must receive on specific mission tasks in order to be qualified to perform their duties during a mission.

Stations

There are nine stations that a member can train in. These are:

  • Common
    • AUXCOM
    • CAPCOM
    • EECOM
    • ENG
    • LOGS
    • NETWORK
  • Specific
  • COMMAND
  • MEDICAL
  • PILOT

The common stations are generally similar between all groups of Mission Control, Astronauts, and Simulators, and as such, certification in one will be considered to be certification in the other two. Specific stations exhibit large differences between the three groups, and a member must be certified for each of these stations individually for each group.

Ratings

Each member will have a rating on each station, which indicates their relative level of training and competence on that station. The ratings are:

Not Complete This member has not accomplished any significant strides in mastering this station.
In Progress This member understands the basics of this station. They are working towards a rating of Complete on this station.
Complete This member has mastered this station. They are qualified to man it during a Main Mission.
Instructor This member has demonstrated expertise surpassing mastery on this station. They are qualified to instruct others in its function, and certify them to the rating of "Complete."

Documentation

Each member will have their own training summary card, housed on the wiki. It will display their certifications on their member page.

Members are required to display this documentation to the Mission Control Commander when applying for astronaut or mission control duties.

Certification Requirements

In order to be certified to a particular rating, members must be able to demonstrate all of the abilities itemized in the appropriate list of certification requirements. These requirements stack, so that members trying for their Complete Rating, must also be able to demonstrate the In Progress Rating skills.

Members are certified to In Progress Rating or Complete Rating by their instructor. The instructor is then responsible for having their student's documentation updated on the wiki. Instructors are required to document all students they have certified.

Members are certified to the Instructor Rating by the Mission Commander, if the Mission Commander has rating of Complete or higher on that station. Otherwise, the Admiral may certify members to the Instructor Rating.

Changes to Certification Requirements

Changes to the certification requirements are made as a petition to the Mission Commander.

If the Mission Commander changes the certification requirements, the previous requirements should be preserved, and an amendment appended to the appropriate section. The Mission Commander must then re-certify all Instructors for that station within two weeks of the changes. The Instructors must re-certify all of their students who are still current members within two weeks of being re-certified themselves.

If a member is not re-certified, their rating will be downgraded to In Progress, with a note made of their previous rating.

Instructors

Assignment

Members are generally responsible for locating their own instructor for each station. However, they can also ask the Mission Commander to petition instructors on their behalf.

Number

There is no maximum number of instructors for any particular station.

The Mission Commander is responsible for ensuring that there is at least one instructor for each station each year. If, at the end of the year, graduation or other factors would cause there to be fewer than one instructor for each station, the Mission Commander must return in the following year to certify sufficient instructors. If the Mission Commander is unable to fulfill this obligation, the Admiral must promote a member to Instructor Rating.
