GUNZENHAUSER/CIV/LICENSING MANAGER/MOTOR TRANSPORT INSTRUCTION COMPANY, TECOM//TEL: 573-596-0679/EMAIL: [email protected]// Gentext/Remarks/1.  Purpose.  To reinforce MCTIMS licensing functionality background, licensing requirements, licensing agency user support options, and assistance points of contact. 2.  Background 2.a.  Per ref (a), MCTIMS has served as the authoritative data Source since 2006, leveraged by Training and Education Command to originate, maintain, validate, and disseminate individual and unit level training completion for the Marine Corps' uniformed total force (including active and reserve component personnel). 2.b.  MCTIMS delivers five critical capabilities: 1) provide data for training completion reports that affect pay, promotion, and talent management for Marines; 2) report training data that informs unit and enterprise level training related readiness to the Defense Readiness Reporting System; 3) track and report pre-deployment training program requirements; 4) facilitate student registration at formal schools such as the Marine Corps, Army, Navy, and Air Force schools; and 5) enable standardization of curriculum development and management at formal schools. 2.c.  In 2023, an initial review of the Marine Corps’ licensing and certification processes revealed the functionality for entering, certifying, and tracking of license qualifications and certifications did not afford commanders the best opportunity to rapidly deploy units with licensed operators.  Further research confirmed that MCTIMS already contained a license tab within the Electronic Training Jacket module that was not being fully utilized. Working with occupational field subject matter experts, system adjustments were made to allow the Marine Corps licensing agencies, per ref (b), to utilize MCTIMS in the licensing process to accurately track trained and licensed Marines and Sailors within the Marine Corps, improving a commander's ability to optimize deployment of units with licensed operators. 3.  Action 3.a.  Marine Corps licensing agencies can enter and certify all license qualifications in MCTIMS without having to rely on outside entities.  Units will ensure accurate entry and record maintenance of their licensed operators in MCTIMS via the UTM calendar, per ref (c).  Licensing agencies were briefed on this MCTIMS functionality and informed their personnel must go through an internal process to gain access to MCTIMS and TECOM training materials specific to licensing, per refs (b) and (d).  Updates to references (a), (b), (d), and (e) are forthcoming starting in FY25. 3.b.  For MCTIMS licensing user support issues or questions, the following contact options are provided:  (1) access https(slant)(slant)mctims.usmc.mil(slant)homeport(slant) modulesupport.aspx; (2) contact MCTIMS support via [email protected] or 1-877-885-8718; or (3) reach out to applicable MCTIMS field support representatives, per ref (a), Mr. Pat Ryan at  [email protected], 910-376-292 (East Coast); Mr. Jaymes Roedl at [email protected], 951-445-1808 (West Coast); or Mr. Patrick Northern at [email protected], comm. 080-3478-1371 (III MEF).
