Its happened to me more than a few times now. One of my engineers is supposed to have boarding party 1 and the skill isn't available to me although its clearly in his skill points area. I also just used a skill replacement to replace jam sensors using a new officer train them in science team 1. The skill is clearly in the skill points area but I did not get access to the ability and I still have access to jam sensors.
Also am I supposed to lose all of points in jam sensors? I'd figure they would of carried over to science team 1 since I used a skill replacement.
You haven't mentioned your rank or ship type. But the likely problem is the Bridge Station you have your BO assigned to. The rank of the Bridge Stations determines the maximum rank ability of the BO using that stations. If you have a BO with the rank of Commander in an Ensign Bridge Station, the BO will only be able to use their Ensign rank skill. The only way to get better bridge stations is by getting a higher Tier ships.
Ships will strictly limit the level of BO skills outside the speciality aread of the ship (i.e. Escorts == Tactica, Cruiser == Engineering, Science Ships == Science). At best will only be able to use Lieutenant level of the non-speciality skill areas. In the skills are of the ships, you sill get two consoles and only 1 console of eather other specialties. On the T5 (Admiral rank). You will get an addition Ensign level console one of the non-specilty levels depeding on which ship class you pick.
This happened to me with one of my BOs last night ... swapped Hi Yield for Beam Overload on Sol and it didn't show on the skills screen despite the system messages saying the skill was learned.
Lo and behold tonight the Beam Overload was there. Now that was some serious lag
