The division's focus is to provide training tools to personnel to assist them in their jobs as instructors and supervisors. Technical training is just a part of the SSC mission to train Sailors for the fleet. The Military Standards Division's responsibility is to reinforce the Navy's core values of honor, courage and commitment by instilling pride in the Navy, patriotism, physical fitness and high standards of military bearing and responsibility for each Sailor passing through the gates.
Students receive military training before and after technical training is done.
The Curriculum and Instructional Standards Division is an integral part of all training activities and performs functions in support of the Commanding Officer to ensure quality training. It is made up of three branches which are charged with Curriculum Management, Instructional Management, and Evaluation Management. They also manage staff development for the command by offering in-service training to improve the skills of plaform instructors and other courses for academic specialists such as testing officers, curriculum managers, course supervisors and course managers. They operate computer-based Learning Resource Centers in most of the schools. They supervise Electronic Technical Manual classrooms for some of the more advanced schools and they continually strive to bring the latest in technology into the academic arena.
