Can a 11C switch to 11B without extra training?

Hey I'm an 11C undergoing an interstate transfer. The drill site closest to me only has an excess 11C slot for me which means I will not be able to get an exception to the policy for my student loan repayment bonus which I really need. I could reclass inorder to get a real slot and get my bonus. I don't want to have to go through an entire AIT. 11C in the National Guard also have an incredibly slow career progression due to the low number that states have for them. Is it possible for me to reclass into a 11B? Would I have to go back to Benning in order to do this? I was in the first 22-week cycle for 11C so would that entail me meeting training requirements? I never met a 11B that spoke about doing anything that I didn't do at OSUT.

You're already qualified as an 11B, every 11C is qualified as an 11B first before continuing to the 11C portion. It only takes a memorandum from the Infantry Proponent to state that you meet the qualifications and you can reclass without training.
As for the reclass itself, that's up to whatever provisions the NG requires

If you went though you training prior to 31 AUG 12, then the schoolhouse says you can be awarded the MOS without further training. If after that date, you'll either have to go through formal training or submit a MOS Determination Waiver request*
Per HRC*, for the Reserve Component - Soldiers in the grades of E1 through Non-promotable E4 (PVT-SPC), reclassifying into the MOS 11B must complete the MOS 11B reclassification course (MOS-T) under the auspices of the U.S. Infantry School.

I graduated OSUT after that date in early 2020 so it would not apply to me. I am an E-4 promotable so would that change anything?

Second reference.
Soldiers in the grades of E5 (SGT) and E6 (SSG) non-promotable must attend the 071-11B2/3/4 (T) Infantry Transition Course. Skill Level 3 Soldiers should complete both the 071-11B2/3/4 (T) Infantry Transition Course, and the appropriate level NCOES technical phase.

No, you're not allowed to go back to Benning for this.
The 11B MOS transition course is 3 weeks, and taught at several RTIs across the Guard, to include Arkansas, New York, Oregon, Virginia and Puerto Rico.
FYI, you were going to need an ETP approved for your SLRP anyway, because that was tied to your MOS and your UIC.
