Executive Director Bi-Weekly Update

Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

Good morning! The Naval Safety and Environmental Training Center is concluding the first month of the fiscal year by convening 33 October courses. As of today, we have 476 graduates and 88 no-shows. In this bi-weekly update, I would like to share the FY26 needs assessment procedures and a few reminders.

 

Needs Assessment: NAVSAFENVTRACEN is preparing to develop the FY26 course schedule by collecting quota needs via Tasker # DON-241031-W6HJ (tasker verbiage, with enclosure, is attached).  The training center requests training quota needs to develop a course schedule that serves the Safety and Occupational Health (SOH) and Environmental (ENV) communities. Quota data will be used to determine the best use of resources to meet the training need received. However, response does not guarantee a quota, this information request is for planning purposes only. All quotas must be reserved via eNTRS.

 

With the release OPNAV M-5100.23 Change 3, NAVSAFENVTRACEN has included new courses, currently in development, in the needs assessment for future planning purposes.  It is unclear if these courses will be offered in FY26; however, the needs assessment information will be used if the courses are finalized.  In the meantime, quota training needs are being requested for current and in-development courses.  

 

Furthermore, for ENV community relevant courses, the formulation of the FY26 NAVSAFENVTRACEN schedule will be consolidated through the Navy Environmental Readiness Training Program (NERTP) Steering Committee.  The NERTP Steering Committee Chair, Ms. Madina M Alharazim POC is Mr. Christopher R Murray.

 

Echelon II commands must collect SOH community FY26 data from subordinate commands and respond with the consolidated total number of training quotas needed using templated provide in Tasker # DON-241031-W6HJ. The template contains three tabs.

 

• Tab 1 (Command Info) Provide command name and POC who can be contacted if there are questions.
• Tab 2 (Resident Courses) provides a list of locations and course titles. Provide the number of quotas needed per course/location. If a course location is not listed, add the location to rows 115-118.
• Tab 3 (Global Online) provides a list of time zones and course titles. Provide the number of quotas needed per course/time zone.

 

Low enrollment– Help Us Fill These Courses: Unfortunately, several courses scheduled for FY25 Nov-Dec are at risk of cancellation due to low enrollment. Reserving quotas via eNTRS is critical—not just for securing your spot, but for helping us track and ensure fair access to training across the fleet. It also allows us to record course completions, which is beneficial for both the students and their leadership. Let’s make sure we’re taking full advantage of these opportunities! The following courses still have open quotas that we’d like to fill:

 

Course Title	CDP	Location	Start Date		Enrolled	Community
INDUSTRIAL NOISE AND HCP	5891	Norfolk, VA	11/13/2024	4		Safety

Reminders:

 

• All quotas must be reserved via eNTRS. https://app.prod.cetars.training.navy.mil/eNTRS/
• To request a quota, log into eNTRS> Request Menu> enter course CDP> update the dates> submit> check the course date> enter the students DOD ID> submit> add student info> double check email is correct> select process request.
• Live Session Start Time: Are you located on the east coast and enrolled in a course with a start time focused on our team in Japan? Not sure? Now is your time to check out our website to ensure you enrolled in a course that works best with your time zone. Canceling your course after the instructor sends the course welcome email will land your name on our no-show list.
