MANDATED USCG AUXILIARY TRAINING
1. In January 2013, ALAUX 001/13 announced launch of the Auxiliary Learning
Management System (AUXLMS) and its impact on Auxiliary Mandated Training
(MT) requirements for new enrollees. New enrollees were required to
complete all Auxiliary MT courses within their first year of enrollment.
The first year of enrollment was defined as the Base Enrollment Date (BED)
until 31 December of the year following the BED. For example, if a new
enrollee had a BED of 15 November 2013, then they had until 31 December 2014
to complete all mandated training.
2. At the Auxiliary National Convention in
August 2014, Auxiliary national leadership and the Chief Director of Auxiliary
determined it appropriate to extend the deadline for Auxiliary MT completion for
Auxiliarists who have enrolled since January 2013. Accordingly, the
deadline has been extended from 31 December 2014 to 31 December 2015.
3. The deadline for Auxiliary MT completion
for Auxiliarists who were already enrolled by January 2013 remains 31 December
2016.
4. Auxiliary MT is comprised of the following
courses:
a. To be successfully completed
during the first year of enrollment and then once every five years thereafter:
(1) Building Resilience
and Preventing Suicide in the Coast Guard - course code 502379
(2) Security Fundamentals -
course code 810030
(3) Privacy at DHS:
Protecting Personal Information - course code 810015
(4) Sexual Harassment
Prevention - course code 810000
(5) Sexual Assault
Prevention / Response - course code 810045
(6) Civil Rights
Awareness - course code 502319
b. To be successfully completed
only once (new enrollees must complete them during the first year of enrollment):
(1) Ethics 1 / Personal
Gifts - course code 502306
(2) Influenza Training -
course code 502290
c. Recent changes to Coast Guard
policy on Incident Command System (ICS) training requirements have resulted in the
following additions to Auxiliary MT, to be successfully completed only once:
(1) Introduction to
the Incident Command System - ICS-100
(2) Introduction to
National Incident Management System (NIMS) - IS-700
New enrollees must complete these ICS courses during the first year of enrollment.
Auxiliarists who have enrolled since January 2013 must complete them
by 31 December 2015. All other Auxiliarists must complete them by 31
December 2016. They can be taken online at:
Auxiliary Mandated Training Portal and Instructions
These
FEMA sponsored ICS-100 and IS-700 courses are only available through the FEMA website
and must be completed online.
5. There are several ways to complete the
courses listed in paragraphs 4.a. and 4.b.:
a. Through the Auxiliary Learning
Management System (AUXLMS / website: https://auxlearning.uscg.mil/).
b. In a classroom setting (e.g.,
a flotilla member training session) taught by a qualified Auxiliary instructor
using the AUXLMS materials or using downloadable training materials that are
available on the National Training Directorate web site
(http://wow.uscgaux.info/content.php?unit=t-dept).
c. The Auxiliary National Training
Directorate will make webinar training sessions available on a recurring basis
for members who prefer a facilitated presentation but are unable to attend an
in-person classroom training session. It is also developing downloadable
training material that can be given to Auxiliarists who are unable to complete
online training or attend a classroom training session. These additional
options are expected to be available in February 2015. An ALAUX will
announce their availability.
6. As each of the first six courses listed in
paragraph 4.a. above is completed, its own five-year cycle will start. Each
cycle will extend to 31 December of the fifth year regardless of the date the course
was completed during the year, and so on. For example, if an Auxiliarist
completes the Civil Rights Awareness course on 15 November 2014, then they will have to
complete it again by 31 December 2019.
