Administrations for these training courses.• The Coast Guard also considers requests for the exchange of

personnel to allow for a less structured, but often times more practical, training experience.

• Applications for either type of training opportunity should be routed to the nearest American Embassy or Consulate for processing and forwarding to Coast Guard Headquarters.
