SIA Technical Specialties College

The RMN Technical Specialties Center (aka Technical Specialties College) is a part of the Saganami Island Academy where all personnel may receive instruction in specific technical ratings offered. Enlisted members will receive Basic and Advanced-level training, Warrants will be asked to complete technical projects to promote their expert-level understanding of a specific rating, while Officers are trained to become Division Officers.

Schools & Departments

There are four schools within the Center:

A School

The "A" School offers basic training in a technical rating or specialty. This school is most often attended by enlisted members who're looking to "strike" within that rating.

C School

The "C" School offers advanced-level training in a technical rating or specialty. Advanced-level training will be useful to petty officers who are looking to augment their on-the-job and basic training within that rating.

W School

The "W" School offers (potential) Warrant Officers with the opportunity to demonstrate their Expert-level understanding of a specific technical area with a project. That project should be enough to satisfy the qualified instructors of their prowess in the field.

D School

The "D" School provides (potential) Commissioned Officers with high-level training and management skills to lead a Division in which the technical rating resides. For example, a Personnelman with aspirations toward a commission might apply to this course in the hopes of bringing his or her skills as an Administration Officer aboard a ship or station. If an officer should complete the A-C-D course progression within this rating, they will be considered a trained/rated Division Officer.
