The Military Academic Skills Program (MASP) is a no-cost remedial skills program (mathematics and English) that allows Marines, sailors, and adult family members an opportunity to RE-LEARN certain academic skills in preparation for college admission and academic placement testing.  It is also used to prepare Marines who wish to retake the ASVAB/AFCT military

classification exam, particularly those who wish to "lat move" into a different MOS (e.g. counter-intel).

MASP is a month-long course that is held at the Education Center, bldg. 1530, 6th Street.  Copper Mountain College (CMC) professors teach remedial math (0730-1130) and English (1300-1600) M-F throughout the month.  Some register for ONLY the morning math section; others register for ONLY the English component.  Some register to take both math and English, so they spend the entire day with us!  Whatever works for you and your Marine(s) is GTG with us.

Should you have any questions or wish for one (or more) of your Marines to enroll, feel free to call the CMC staff listed in the flier.  You may also feel free to stop and visit them in building 1530, Room 209 (2nd Deck).

LEAN SIX SIGMA

The Comptroller, Business Operation section, offers Continuous Process Improvement (CPI), Lean Six Sigma (LSS), courses.  Note:  There is no training fee associated with the course.

Our training provides an understanding of the process and the tools necessary to recognize areas for tremendous improvement in order to eliminate problems, remove waste, improve efficiency, and working conditions.

Yellow Belt (YB), 1-Day In-Person Class:  Our YB course provides awareness of CPI combined with LSS concepts that improve the workplace by identifying waste and non-value added tasks. The instructor will teach a concept and then re-enforce it through a hands on training scenario.  In addition to this, this course will prepare the student to participate on process improvement events.

Green Belt (GB) Training, 5-Day Course, In-Person Class:  Our GB course expands upon the CPI/LSS concepts introduced in the YB training.  This course introduces the student to several new CPI tools utilizing the same methodology of teaching and practical application through a scenario.  This course will prepare employees to facilitate process improvement events and projects utilizing the Define Measure Analyze Improve and Control (DMAIC), problem-solving framework. 

GB prerequisite: Complete Yellow Belt Training through our program or submit supporting documentation to our office.

All active or reserve military and all Department of Defense civilian employees are eligible to attend.  Note:  Course not available for contractors or families.  Active and reserve military must have one year from EAS to qualify for the LSS GB course.
