| Important: For the latest news from the Eight Western Rivers Region, visit the 8WR Members Web Site. |
- For all Auxiliarists: mandatory training requirements during calendar year 2010 include:
- Sexual harassment and Assault Prevention/Response (SHAPR) training.
- Privacy Awareness
- Security Education (AND) Training Awareness (SETA)
- Influenza Training (Once per career)
All of this mandated training is designed to be taken online using the Coast Guard Learning Portal. Each Auxiliary member will need to set up a Learning Portal Login Account. Unfortunately not all the process kinks have been worked out by the Chief Director's Office, in coordination with OSC Martinsburg, that will allow all courses to be taken online via the Learning Portal and to have the results automatically transmitted to the each member's AUXDATA profile.
When the procedures are working and available, notice will be posted on the 8WR website so all members can begin to complete their CY10 mandated training using the CG Learning Portal. (16 December 2009)
