The Basic Qualification Course is an in-depth study of the Supply System encompassing the following major areas of an afloat supply department: supply management food service, retail operations, disbursing management, leadership and management and personnel administration. Students will, through the use of practical exercises, practice sets, and exams, demonstrate the ability to complete and post all forms and files in each functional area. Additionally, students will demonstrate the ability to audit and correct problem areas posed in exercise situations. Also included in the course is a brief introduction to automated data processing systems such as Relational Supply (R-Supply) and Organizational Maintenance Management System – Next Generation (OMMS-NG).

The objective of the 20-week BQC is to prepare newly commissioned Supply Corps officers and other officers who may be ordered for this instruction in their professional duties. This course provides detailed, job-related technical instruction while encouraging the formation and use of desirable attitudes and characteristics.

While at the Navy Supply Corps School (NSCS), all BQC students are required to complete the week-long Division Officer Leadership Course course. This five-day course is designed to facilitate and indoctrinate all junior officers who will be relieving afloat in a Division Officer capacity, and provide the skill set necessary to be effective first-time leaders in an operational environment. The curriculum is scenario driven, taking the student from their first day of reporting on board all the way through their first nine months. Through interactive videos, role-playing and group based discussions, students will be exposed to various leadership dilemmas and will engage in discussions on potential courses of action. Leadership principles addressed will be competition and collaboration in an enlisted work center, building working relationships with the Chain of Command, time management, and functional administration.
 

The Basic Qualification Course - Navy Reserve (BQC-NR) is a comprehensive course of instruction which provides reserve Direct Commissioning Program Commissioning Officers (DCO) and NAVET redesignations with the fundamental, technical and managerial knowledge necessary to function effectively as Supply Corps officers within the Navy Reserve. The BQC-NR is a combination of on-site training and self-paced correspondence work spanning 15 months. Classes commence three times annually and attendance at all on-site training periods are mandatory in order to graduate.

The BQC-NR curriculum encompasses Supply Management (SM), Food Service (FS), Disbursing Management (DM), Retail Operations (RO), and Leadership and Management (LM). Completion of all elements of the BQC-NR is mandatory and all students must achieve a minimum passing score of 80% for each functional area and an overall course average of 80%.
 

This five-day course is designed to facilitate and indoctrinate all Supply Officers that will be relieving afloat, in a Department Head capacity, the skill sets necessary to be effective principle assistants and liaisons in their Chain of Command for their Commanding Officer. The curriculum encompasses ten modules that will drastically shift the mindsets of the student from being a functional and effective Division Officer to the proactive and global thinking structure of a high-output Department Head. Through role plays, group-based discussions, teach backs, and brainstorming, the student will be afforded the opportunities to discuss with the class the trials and tribulations that they have experienced in their careers. Specific leadership principles that are addressed are competition and collaboration amongst peers and superiors, management of expectations, non-reactive leadership, command climate influences, project and systems management, and growing / developing junior Divisions Officers for the future.
