SUBJ: BASIC QUALIFICATION COURSE II (BQC II) -013/17

1. The Chief Director of Auxiliary has approved application of the Basic Qualification Course II (BQC II) towards elected office eligibility and the Operational Auxiliary (AUXOP) program as follows:

a. Elected office eligibility - Successful completion of the BQC II by the date of nomination now meets the same elected office eligibility requirement as that met by successful completion of the Administrative Procedures Course (APC) or the Flotilla Leadership Course (FLC) for election to Flotilla Vice Commander and Flotilla Commander. Any one of the these three courses (BQC II, APC, FLC) now meets the elected office eligibility requirement.

b. AUXOP program eligibility - The BQC II is now a leadership course option along with the other five AUXOP leadership course options. Its successful completion fulfills the requirement for one leadership credit in the AUXOP program.

c. Auxiliarists who have already successfully completed the BQC II's seven modules are grandfathered for both earning one AUXOP leadership credit and meeting the elected office eligibility requirement.
