  2. Crew Members, Coxswains and PWC Operators are required to be underway at least twelve(12) hours annually.

  3. Attend a TCT refresher class by 31DEC each year.

Re-Qualifications:

  1. Crew Members, Coxswains and PWC Operators are required to perform a set of tasks with a Qualification Examiner every third year.

  2. The "year" begins on 1 January of the year following initial certification and currency requirements must be met by 31 December of that year.  Thus, if a member is certified as a Coxswain on 15 July 2009, that member's first currency year begins on 1 January 2010.  In this example, 3rd year currency requirements must be met by 31 December 2012.  Failure to meet currency requirements in any annual or the three-year cycle will cause a member's certification to lapse and the designation for this status is REYR.
