Becoming a U-Boat commander

<HTML>I have noticed from many different reference books etc. that some commanders were appointed to command straight from surface ships, or staff positions while others went through the stages of 2wo, then 1wo and onto command school etc.
Was there any particular reason for this, eg Seniorority, a particular crew or specialized training that the reference books dont mention.
