It is an Army requirement that each squad, etc have a CLS trained Soldier. There is the 40 hour class and then the annual one day refresher. Since DTMS is the system of record for training, I am curious why it does not have a code for the full course or refresher. Can anyone shed some light?

I used to teach that course and basically all we gave out was a certificate of completion.

A certificate can be used to obtain an SQI. I only teceiv d a certificate for completion of the NBC training which awarded my C SQI. You may have been authorized an SQI but your personnel section didn’t know. I had to pull the reg and take it to my OIC in order for my MOS to be changed to include my SQI. Trust me, personnel offices are NOT going to go out of their way to ensure your records are correct and up to date, much less have to actually do their job to award you something you have earned. Also, by completing that course, it allowed you gain promotion points for Military education. I fixed a lot of promotion point work sheets for fellow soldiers who were not given credit and promotion points they had earned. It involved a LOT of paperwork, but THAT was my job as a 75C1C!

DTMS is not the system of record for training, only for scores of training and limited training.
CLS is recorded on the SRB/ERB under military education/military schools.

Actually it is. AR 350-1... "DTMS is the only authorized automated system for managing, recording training, and establishing unit assessments for Army units."
Back to the point of my post though... I am able to update every other type of training to include DL and F2F in DTMS but I am not seeing a code for CLS so I figured maybe someone knows an actual why or maybe it is listed as something else and hoping to find the answer.

A unit is required to have 10% qualified as CLS.
For us to code the training we use RCAS. In DTMS you can put it in a Soldiers Job Book.
