Starting in Fall 2010, RSPS will be offering
this Course through the Wake Tech Community College System. Details
will be made available on the Wake Tech website, Continuing
Education/Public Safety Section.
( http://conted.waketech.edu/schedules/schedule_pdfs/wtcc_conted_classes.pdf ) Seamanship (listed as Seamanship #TBA) will now be taught at the Wake Technical Community College with approximately XX hours of instruction and testing. Registration and Fee Structure: Since USPS, in general, and RSPS, in particular, will now be offering all courses to non-members, we have established a fee structure that is compatible and consistent with that which is being charged by most USPS Squadrons, i.e., roughly twice the member's cost. As a consequence, the fees listed in the Wake Tech Bulletin reflect those new charges. We are requiring all students (USPS members and non-members) to register for these classes through the Wake Tech registration process and pay the fee that is posted. About two weeks after the course begins, Wake Tech will reimburse RSPS a major portion of that fee, after which RSPS will reimburse each USPS member the approximate difference between the non-members fee and what would normally be charged to a member to take that particular course. The net effect of this process is that a USPS member would be paying approximately what he/she would normally be paying for a course, the only difference is that Wake Tech will be holding the money difference for 2-3 weeks. For USPS members who wish to share the textbook(s), we are asking that they register for the course as listed in the Wake Tech Bulletin. After RSPS received their return from Wake Tech, the registered USPS-member student will be reimbursed approximately 150% of the difference between the member and non-member cost of the course. In effect, the individual sharing the textbook for the course will pay about 50% of the cost of a person taking it alone. This sharing policy is to apply to spouses, significant others and immediate children living at home with their parents. Below is the link to the Wake Tech website for class schedules and registration: http://conted.waketech.edu/ Click on Continuing Education Schedules & Registration, then students can search for the class by name or course number and this search will bring up all the information about the class (dates, times, location, description, etc.) Online registration is by credit card payment only. If students plan to pay with a check they can mail it to Wake Tech or bring in to their Main Campus (Continuing Education Dept., 9101 Fayetteville Rd, Raleigh) and pay on site. If they pay by cash they have to bring in to their Main Campus (same department and address as above).
