1LT Private RallyPoint Member 7265797 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am a Reserve TPU 70D, currently attending DCC (long-course). I am attempting to track training requirements and am seeing mixed info on which courses we, as 70D TPU, are required to attend. I&#39;ve received a few emails from HRC about 70B specifically noting the need to attend in-person Phase II, but nothing clear on 70D. <br /><br />When scheduling DCC I was told by the USARC rep that I should attend the long-course (9 weeks). <br /><br />I am trying to find out if the long-course is mandatory or recommended? My unit had me complete BOLC - I last year due to COVID. <br /><br />I&#39;m also trying to get additional info on the MIM course length. I see a 1-year distance learning course referenced, but am curious how my unit tracks that for points/pay and a possible 6-week in-person course after that? <br /><br />My assumption would be: <br />2021 - DCC<br />2022 - BOLC (short 4-week or long course 9-week)<br />2023 - DL MIM (365)<br />2024 - in-person MIM (6-weeks)<br /><br />On top of this we have annual training (2-weeks)<br /><br />Am I ineligible for promotion until after that?<br />Are any of these courses able to be tested/certified out of? Is the DCC long-course mandatory or recommended a Reserve TPU 70D? Also, what is the MIM course length? 2021-09-13T14:34:53-04:00 1LT Private RallyPoint Member 7265797 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am a Reserve TPU 70D, currently attending DCC (long-course).

Except you have to do the 9 weeks course, the short course is not an option for us as for 70D&#39;s. <br /><br />2021 - DCC<br />2022 - BOLC ( Long course 9 weeks. ) + 2 weeks for your AOC training as a 70B. I am not sure if they changed this or not.<br />2023 - Medical Information Management Course Phase 1 ( Its DL)<br />2024 - in-person MIM (6-weeks) ( Correct)<br /><br />As far as your promotion once you complete BOLC you met the requirements for Promotion to CPT once you meet the TIS/TIG and have boarded. <br /><br />What is your TIS? <br /><br />If you are staying a 70D I recommend you get Security+ if not you will not be able to do the basic requirements of a TPU 70D.

Phase 1 is 240 hours of distance learning and you have a year to do it, phase 2 is 6 weeks of residency at Fort Sam.<br /><br />The Army doesn&#39;t care about any certification for promotion. The value of certs is the information you learn to apply to your job. Now DoD 8570 states to do certain tasks you need certain certs and Sec + covers IAt Level 1 and 2.<br /><br />DA Pam 600-4 highlights the requirements for career advancement Response by LTC Private RallyPoint Member made Sep 15 at 2021 10:18 PM 2021-09-15T22:18:35-04:00 2021-09-15T22:18:35-04:00 2021-09-13T14:34:53-04:00
