San Diego City College continues its academic excellence by extending services to many military installations.

Graduates leave NTTC Meridian prepared for assignments as Personnel Specialists (PS), Religious Program Specialists (RP), Yeoman (YN), Ships Servicemen (SH), and Storekeepers (SK). Consistent outstanding ratings received by our instructors indicate the quality of service we provide.

- Naval Technical Training Center (NTTC)

The courses include Personnel Specialists “A” School, Religious Program Specialist “A” School, Yeoman “A” and “C” Schools, Ships Serviceman “A” School, and Storekeeper “A” School.

Our student through-put is approximately 5,700 students annually in the seven courses of instruction. SDCC personnel have responded to planned changes in Navy instruction. SDCC personnel have demonstrated that they can also respond quickly and effectively to emergency unplanned situations.
San Diego City College personnel have endured and responded to two hurricanes since 2004. SDCC personnel were on the job and instruction commenced immediately. Because of the nature of the second disaster the Navy put an emergency hold on all transfers into the Gulf region. When the hold was lifted the command received 217 students in a six day period of time. Our personnel worked weekends in an attempt to get as many students through the pipeline as quickly as possible. San Diego City College staff has proven, without doubt, that they respond quickly and effectively to change and have a “can do” attitude that cannot be matched.
San Diego City College has repeatedly demonstrated our versatility and capability to meet the demands and needs of the Navy’s changing training programs.
