What is the role of the Lead Class Officer?

The Lead Class Officer plays a critical role in the mentorship and guidance of officer candidates within a training environment. As the primary responsibility of a Class Officer, they supervise the day-to-day activities of a specific group of officer candidates, ensuring that the training is conducted effectively and that the candidates are developing the necessary skills and attributes for naval service.

In this capacity, the Class Officer is directly involved in the educational process, providing feedback to candidates, monitoring their progress, and implementing training programs that are tailored to the needs of the class. This role is essential in fostering a cohesive learning environment and maintaining high standards of performance and conduct among officer candidates.

While training officer candidates is an important aspect of the role, it is the designation of Class Officer that encompasses the broader managerial and supervisory duties associated with overseeing a specific cohort within the Officer Candidate School.
