COMDTINST 5270.2
c. Training Type: Competencies and tasks are categorized by training type. TMT uses training
type to differentiate among different competencies. A training type can be, for example, a
Formal School (e.g. a Class "C" School), PQS/JQR, Currency Maintenance, Marine Safety
(MS), General Military Training (GMT), Master Training List (MTL) or several others. Each
task assigned to a competency must be of the same training type.
d. Certification: In TMT, many competencies require the unit commanding officer to "certify" an
individual. This function was previously completed when the unit commanding officer issued a
qualification letter.
e. Ability: The quality of being able to do something, especially the physical, mental, financial, or
legal power to accomplish something. A natural or acquired skill or talent.
f. Skill: The proficient application of knowledge, ability, and behavior to complete a job, task or
duty.
g. Knowledge: An organized body of information, usually of a factual or procedural nature,
required to perform a function or task.
h. General Military Training (GMT): Commandant mandated all hands training that supports
policy, programs, and/or missions identified by Program Managers and approved by the Coast
Guard Training and Education Advisory Council in accordance with reference (c).
