What is AUX-04?

AUX-04 is an U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary C-School intended to provide introduction in the use of current media systems in electronic presentation and web based technologies.  The course is not designed or appropriate for advanced or professional users.  Students will learn about the application of Internet and multimedia technologies for Auxiliary activities including communication services, member training, public education, and public affairs.  The classroom based training involves the use of computers and the development of two projects; one being a multimedia presentation and the other building the basic structure of a unit website.  These skills will be utilized when the student returns to their local unit.
