Basic Officer Training Class (HB1803,ME70). All officer candidates must attend an initial 19-week Basic Officer Training Class (BOTC). The curriculum is challenging, with onboard ship-handling exercises coupled with classroom instruction in leadership, officer bearing, NOAA mission and history, shiphandling, basic seamanship, firefighting, navigation, and first aid. BOTC is held at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy (link is external) in New London, Connecticut, where new NOAA Corps recruits train alongside Coast Guard officer candidates before receiving their first assignment.
