OpsQuals Frequently Asked Questions
OpsQuals is CAP's Membership Information Management System. This system
contains the information about the members achievements. OpsQuals can be
accessed from the main page of the
national web site. These questions are to assist you in using the
OpsQuals system. Please review the tutorials that are provided for OpsQuals on
the NHQ site.
| What records do I need to keep? |
CAPR 60-3 requires the individual member to keep records
to support all of the qualifications that they hold (CAPR
60-3 para. 2.7). This should include paper copies of signed
SQTRs, Certificates, etc.
Unit commanders are also required to maintain all
documentation for issuance of qualifications (CAPR 60-3
para.1-4c2) to members |
| Which Internet browser should I use to access OpsQuals? |
OpsQuals is designed to work with Microsoft Internet
Explorer version 6. Other browsers and versions may work,
but it is not guaranteed. Known problems include:
CAPF 101 card don't contain bar codes when printed with
some other browsers. (The bar code is not needed at present
on the CAPF 101)
The instructions to install the barcode fonts don't work
on some other browsers
CAPF 101 front and back are different lengths
If you are unable to print your CAPF 101, contact
Maj. Herzfeld
and one will be mailed to you. |
| What do I do if OpsQuals shows that my General Emergency
Services has expired? |
First check that you have taken the new CAPT 116 Part1
General ES test and part 2 ICS100 and that it is shown in
the system. You can check this at
Operations Online Exam Validation Tool. If you have
completed the tests and you still show as expired, please
contact
Maj Sherrie Herzfeld. |
| Why do I show as a supervised trainee on several
qualifications? |
When a specialty qualification expires, it automatically
reverts to trainee status. Once you have completed the
necessary actions to renew the qualification, it will change
the specialty to qualified. |
| I’m trying to find the NIIMS G193 course? |
This course, that is required for several SQTRs, has
been replaced by the ES 200 course from FEMA. You can find
it at
http://training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/IS/is200.asp |
| What do I need to do to become a Transport Mission
Pilot? |
