Leadership and Management School (LAMS) on-site exportable training
for FY-13. Hosting units should be a sector-level command or a unit
with 50 or more personnel and must comply with all requirements
contained in reference a. Units desiring to host a LAMS class that do
not meet these requirements must seek approval from COMDT (CG-133) to
host a class. To initiate this request units should email
juli.r.petruzzelli(at)uscg.mil.
2. To host a LAMS class units must identify 18 to 24 students, 75
percent of which must be from the target audience group.
    a. The target audience for LAMS is E-5, GS 9-11, O-1, O-2, and
E-6. LAMS is a requirement for all E-5s, both active and reserve, to
advance to E-6. These members shall have priority seating in the
class before any other eligible students. It is highly recommended
that O-1s and O-2s attend this course regardless of accession level
LAMS training. Units shall use the Coast Guard Business Intelligence
(CGBI), Leadership and Management School cube to identify all E-5s in
the local area who have not yet completed this training.
    b. Other eligible students include: CG NAF employees (all), CG
Work-Life (all), CG Aux personnel (FC, VFC, and FSO), and other
federal or state agency employees in positions of leadership.

interested in hosting a LAMS course during FY-13 should send an email
request by COB 27 Jul 2012 to juli.r.petruzzelli(at)uscg.mil.
    a. Requests must include an Active Duty Point of Contact (POC)
name and phone number, the CGBI report showing the E-5s without LAMS
completion and three target weeks when the unit can host a LAMS class
in order of preference. Ensure there are no major command functions
scheduled during these target weeks that would interrupt the course
(e.g. all hands training, retirements, changes of command, VIP
visits, etc).
    b. Units selected to host LAMS exportable training will be
notified by email to the POC listed on the request.
4. The FY-13 LAMS schedule will be available on the Training Quota
Management Center (TQC) web page at: http://www.uscg.mil/hq/tqc/

http://www.uscga.edu/subsites/ldccourses.aspx?id(equal sign)2743 and
must be completed by the unit POC prior to the training.
5. Only AFC-56 funds on TQC-generated orders shall be used for LAMS
C-school training. Units shall not use AFC-30 funds to send members
to C-schools. Units hosting exportable classes must work with the
lead instructor to obtain orders for students requiring cost orders.
6. This message is for unit planning and scheduling purposes. Host
unit and POC preparation is crucial to obtaining the desired outcome
of the LAMS learning experience. Units that cannot support, schedule,
or participate in LAMS exportable training at nearby units are
encouraged to request quotas for their members through TQC via
Electronic Training Request (ETR) for resident courses only. Resident
courses are available at TRACEN Yorktown, TRACEN Petaluma, or the

submitted by the host unit after the class roster is developed as per
reference a.
