Enclosure (1) to COMDTINST 16721.1
(3) Use of an unauthorized instructor;
(4) Failure to adhere to the approved class schedule or length of course;
(5) Presentation of the course in a manner that is not conducive to learning, such as
inadequate or substandard facilities;
(6) Failure to give an adequate end-of-course test, i.e., continued reuse of the same test
module(s), use of a test that doesn't adequately examine the applicant, use of an exam
that has previously been used in the course for the final exam, or use of an exam in
which the majority of the questions were used in previous exams;
(7) Use of an oral exam when that use has not been authorized by the OCMI; or
(8) Allowing a student to join a course after the course has begun.
10. WITHDRAWAL.
a.
Only the Commanding Officer, National Maritime Center, may withdraw a course's
approval. Withdrawal is appropriate when:
(1) A course has been suspended for a second time during any three-year period;
(2) A combination of three suspensions of courses offered by one training institution has
occurred during any three-year period. The approval of each of the affected courses
will be withdrawn; or,
(3) Grave discrepancies have been revealed, including, but not limited to:
(a) Actions contributing to the falsification of student documents or inappropriate
issuance of a course completion certificate;
(b) Unauthorized modifications of a course;
(c) Prompting students during an examination or coaching students to correctly
perform a demonstration during a performance-based assessment; or,
(d) Deceptive practices such as advertising or conducting a non-approved course as
an approved course, or issuing a completion certificate stating that a non-
approved course was approved may result in withdrawal of all approvals issued
to the training institution.
b.
A course with a withdrawn approval must be resubmitted for evaluation to consider
reinstatement of the approval. Since withdrawal indicates an unacceptable managerial
system, the resubmittal must include documentation establishing methods to prevent
recurrence of the discrepancies that led to the withdrawal.
