Greetings Starfleet Task Force 31!
I am happy to announce that we have the Command & Staff Course now up and running.
The course has an exam that is made up of 50 questions. All questions are multiple choice answers and True or False.
For those who register for the courses, you will have three (3) months to complete and submit the answer sheet to the Director.
You can register for these exams at https://taskforce31.org/starfleet-task-force-31…/ site. The registration is located on the right side of the page. You must complete and pass the Officer Basic Course (OBC) and the Officer Advance Course (OAC) prior to requesting the Command & Staff Course (CSC)
Once you register for the course, the Director will email you a pdf exam. Upon completion the student will email their answer sheet back to the Director for grading. If the student passes, the Director will send them a Diploma if passed and feedback upon written request to what the student may have gotten wrong. If the Student fails, then the director will notify the student but will not give the answers until the student receives a passing grade.
We are currently working on an Academy Operations Manual and will post it to the website once it is completed and approved by the Fleet Operations Command.
Thank you,
Commodore Leonard Peffer Sr
Director Fleet SFA Operations, STF31
