District 8CR Members

Certain training courses are now mandatory for all US Coast Guard members, including the Coast Guard Auxiliary as set forth in ALCOAST 658/09.

Mandatory Courses for all Auxiliarists :

1. Sexual Harassment (and) Assault Prevention/Response (SHAPR) Training
2. Privacy Awareness Training
3. Security Education (and) Training Awareness (SETA) Training
4. Influenza Training (only once per career)
5. Suicide Prevention Course

Auxiliarists with access to the Coast Guard Data Network also require:

1. Information Systems Security

The preferred path to accomplish this annual training in the Auxiliary is for each individual Auxiliary member to complete his/her required training at home via the Internet using the US Coast Guard Learning Portal.

Course completion certificates can be printed by the member upon completion of each course. The suicide prevention course does not have a certificate.  You can print the “your courses” or “your history” to document all course completions. No other certificates will be provided. Course completion does NOT automatically go into AUXDATA.

The courses may also be conducted as workshops at Flotilla meetings.  The instructor first completes the online course to learn the subject matter, and then can download the course material.

1. When the member completes one of the courses online, he/she prints out a certificate, or other course documentation.   It is important to send a copy to the FSO-IS.

2. The FSO-IS then enters a 06B mission, enters the student as a Trainee (no Lead) and selects the task, and credits the member in AUXDATA.

3. If a workshop is conducted, submit the workshop form ANSC 7039 to the FSO-IS completed same as 2.above.

4. Student time studying and taking the Learning Portal should record that time on the 7029 under 99D.
