I. WHAT IS PQS?
PQS Is a part of your Command's overall training program. It provides
minimum requirements to qualify on a Watchstation/Workstation. It is a me1
for qualifying officer and enlisted personnel in certain assigned duties.
PQS will assist you in becoming a more productive member of the "combat-rec
qualified Navy team,"
II. WHAT MAKES UP THE PQS PROGRAM?
The PQS program consists of the Standard booklet and the Progress ChaH
A. The Standard booklet contains questions you must be able to answer
performance items you must be able to do in order to qualify for a particu'
Watchstation/Workstation. Standards are written by naval personnel after <
themselves, "What do I need to know to do the job properly?"
The Standard booklet is made up of the following parts:
1. TABLE OF CONTENTS
2. USER'S GUIDE
3. DEFINITIONS OF WORDS USED IN PQS
4. CONTRIBUTING FLEET PERSONNEL
5. ENLISTED SURFACE WARFARE SPECIALIST (ESWS) CROSS-REFERENCE
6. FUNDAMENTALS SUMMARY
7. FUNDAMENTALS (100 SECTION)
8. QUALIFICATION SECTION
9. WATCHSTATIONS/WORKSTATIONS (300 SECTION)
10. FEEDBACK FORM
B. The Progress Chart is used to display all the Standards in progre<
that have been completed by your division or work center. Your division o1
uses the progress chart to determine who is qualified to stand the watches
perform the tasks required by your division. You should check the progress
chart periodically to make sure all of the Standards you have completed ha\
been recorded.
III. PQS FORMAT
A. The numbers in PQS follow a definite pattern. The following break
of the numbering system is a handy key to PQS format:
1st thru 3rd Digit
100 section = Fundamentals
300 section = Watchstations
- m -
304 - Indicates section 3 (Watchstation/Workstation section) and
it is the 4th Watchstation/Workstation.
In the Watchstations section of your Standard booklet, you may find
such as the following example. For item .21 you must answer all questioi
For item .22 answers to questions A, B and D are required. If there is
with X's, all questions must be answered.

The Watchstation/Workstation section (300) is divided into qual
groups. Your book may be used for more than one final qualification sucl

Final Qualification Sign-Off Page as follows:
Example: NAVEDTRA 43462-Ql
43462 - Indicates NAVEDTRA number assigned to the PQS pack,
Ql - Indicates the first qualification group
1. FUNDAMENTALS (100 Section) This section identifies basic ki
needed to do the job properly. Normally you would have acquired this km
during the school phase of your training. If you have not been to schoo
requirements are outlined and the references listed will aid you in a se
program.
- iv -
2. WATCHSTATIONS/WORKSTATIQNS (300 Section) This section conte
the procedures you need to know to properly perform your job. Watchstati
Workstations are divided into final qualification "groups" (Qual 1, Qual
with each group containing the following:
a. Final Qualification Sign-Off Page
Final record that is filed in your training jacket
and recorded in your Service Record upon final
qualification
b. Qualification Summary Page
Record of completion of other PQS qualifications,
and Watchstations/Workstations within a qualification
group
c. Watchstations/Workstations (Task Sign-Off Pages)
Record of completion of performed tasks for each
Watchstation/Workstation and instruction watches
required by each Watchstation in a qualification
group
IV. HOW TO QUALIFY
A. Your division officer or work center supervisor will issue you a
PQS booklet. Your supervisor will assign Watchstations/Workstations and
time limits (goals) for completing your qualification. Progress toward
qualification will be monitored on the division/work center Progress Char
The estimated completion time, shown at the beginning of each Watchstatio
Workstation, is only a recommendation and may be modified by your command
It indicates how long it will take the average sailor under normal condit
to complete each Watchstation/Workstation.
B. Open your Standard booklet to your assigned Watchstation/Worksta
At the beginning of the Watchstation/Workstation you will find a list of
that must be completed before starting your tasks. Standards may include
Watchstations/Workstations other than the one on which you are working.
Concentrate on the prerequisites for the Watchstation/Workstation to whic
have been assigned and do not delay your qualification by spending time o
others.
C. Complete the Safety Precautions Fundamentals first, then the res
the required Fundamentals. Your supervisor may require you to complete
these in a certain order, if not, the choice is up to you. If you do not
the answer to a question in the Standard booklet, look up the answer in o
the reference books listed. If you cannot find the answer in the referen
books, ask your supervisor for help.
D. As you complete a Fundamental section, have the Qualification Pet
Officer sign your Fundamentals Summary page. When you have completed all
prerequisites, you are ready to start the performance items listed for th
Watchstation/Workstation. Report your completion of all requirements of
that Watchstation/Workstation to your supervisor.
that should he completed before work is started on the required Watchste
Workstations or related Fundamentals. If you are assigning more than or
Watchstation/Workstation or section to be completed, it is your decision
specify which one should be completed first. The supervisor is an extre
important part of the PQS program if it is to be successful. If you adrr
PQS with insight, you will find that PQS is a helpful tool that can fit
your overall training plan. You will be responsible for the accuracy, i
and tailoring of PQS to fit your command's needs, as well as for the ini
of appropriate feedback to the PQS Development Group (feedback forms are
in the back of each Standard booklet). You should provide motivation tc
personnel by assigning goals, showing interest, and following the traine
progress. The supervisor is responsible for training and should be the
to update and maintain the orogress chart. It is important that the sup
be aware of who is and who is not progressing, as well as where counsel i
individual instruction may be needed. A sample PQS progress chart can t
in the PQS Manager's Guide (NAVEDTRA 43100-1B). As a supervisor you mus
totally familiar with the duties, responsibilities, and assignments of ,>
Qualification Petty Officers. Your PQS program cannot survive without c
planning and quality control.
B. The estimated completion time, shown at the beginning of each
Watchstation/Workstation, is only a recommendation and may be modified t
command. It indicates how long it will take the average sailor under nc
conditions to complete each Watchstation/Workstation.
VI. THE QUALIFICATION PETTY OFFICER
A. Selection as a Qualification Petty Officer means that you are c
the command's subject matter experts on those Fundamentals and Watchstat
Workstations assigned to you. PQS cannot be successful without you. Yc
is to be totally knowledgeable in your assigned areas, to make yourself
to check off your trainees' achievements and to ensure that a high-quali
program is maintained in your division.
B. Each Qualification Petty Officer should have a set of standard
for the Watchstations/Workstations so that all trainees receive the same
If multiple signatures are required for a line item, it is preferable tf
working day or one watch elapse between signatures. If the trainee does
know the correct answer, it is your responsibility to help find the ansv
in the reference material. This will speed up the process of qualificat
and will familiarize your trainees with the use of publications. Obvioi
this requires that you know where all the answers can be found.
C. As the Qualification Petty Officer you will be the most likely
individual to discover discrepancies in the Standard booklet. Any
discrepancies noted should be brought to the attention of your supervise
so that appropriate tailoring and corrections can be made. It must be
understood that the PQS booklet should be tailored to fit your command's
needs. Such tailoring is to be accomplished only with approval of your
Commanding Officer or a designated official.
