There are five learning sites located at TSC:
- Center for Surface Combat Systems Unit (CSCSU)
- Surface Warfare Officers School Command Unit (SWOSCU)
- Center for EOD and Dive (CNEODD)
- Center for Personal and Professional Development (CPPD)
- Center for SEAL and SWCC (BUDs Prep)
Most of the courses offered at the Great Lakes Learning Sites have been granted education credit by the American Council on Education. The learning sites participate, with the centers they report to, in a quality-assurance accreditation process sponsored by the Commission of the Council on Occupational Education.
To ensure the command continues to send quality Sailors to the fleet, training is balanced between the technical aspects of the rating, along with reinforcing and continuing the military training initiated at Recruit Training Command (RTC). Every student is provided with a solid base of training, both military and technical, before departing Great Lakes to continue his or her career in the fleet.
