Uninspected Towing Vessel Examiner (AUX-UTV)

Upon successful completion of this personal qualification, a person will hold the minimum competencies to examine Uninspected Tow Vessels (UTV) and their associated equipment for compliance with the applicable safety regulations in 46 CFR.

This link will download the Personal Qualification Standard Workbook for this specialty.  This is the Official record of your specialty training so you will want to protect it, and keep it legible.  It will contain the record of your training, and be submitted to the Commanding Officer of your assigned Active Duty Unit for submission and signature when completed.  Many Auxiliarists optionally print it at a commercial document processor, like Kinko's, Office Max, Office Depot, Staples, etc. and have it assembled with a spiral binding to ensure it is legible and in good shape, although this is not mandatory. 

Note: This is one of the specialties that MAY require a Satisfactory PSI for a Direct Operations (DO) Clearance before you can start this specialty, or perform many tasks.  You should check with the local unit you are supporting to determine if a DO clearance will be required.  Before starting this PQS check with your local MS Staff officers to see if it should be initiated, and if a DO is required prior to starting this PQS.  It may take 6 months or more to complete and gain the clearance.
