Executive Director Tri-Weekly Update

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Good morning! As we approach the deadline for our annual needs assessment, I want to emphasize the critical role that accurate quota needs data plays in ensuring the success of the training we provide to your personnel. The Naval Safety and Environmental Training Center relies on the information you provide to allocate resources, plan course schedules, and make informed decisions about funding. Unfortunately, we have recently experienced low enrollment across our high-demand courses.

A review of our FY25 course schedule reveals a concerning trend. Despite high demand, many of our courses have struggled to fill available seats. For example, the Competent Person for Fall Protection Course in Pearl Harbor, HI, had a justified need for multiple convenings, but only 15 of the 19 registered students graduated due to no-shows. This not only wastes valuable resources but also reduces the number of other courses we could have provided instead. As we look to FY26, it is essential that we get the quota needs data right.

Please take a close look at the quota needs being submitted for FY26 and ensure that it accurately reflects the training requirements of your personnel. The chart below, pulled from our attached course schedule, provides a snapshot of our FY25 needs and graduate numbers. I encourage you to use this data to inform your FY26 submissions to help us ensure that our course schedule meets the needs of personnel requiring training.

Course Title	CIN	Location	FY25 Need	Graduates
Fire Protection and Life Safety	A-493-0075	Norfolk, VA Classroom 2	61	5

Training Requirements Review Tasker (DON-241122-2G4J): We are currently reviewing the curriculum for the Introduction to Naval Safety and Occupational Health (CIN: A-493-0550) course.

Quota Updates:

Quotas Release: FY25 QTR 4 quotas will be released on 2 April 2025. 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.
No Shows: As of 3 Feb 2025, 479 no-show students have taken seats from other students. As a reminder as no-show is:

1. A command/activity has a quota for a student who does not report for a course of instruction (COI) and the command does not provide a replacement student at the initial class muster.

2. A command cancels a granted quota in 4 or fewer working days before a course convening without providing a replacement.

3. A student does not meet course prerequisites.

4. A student is absent from the COI to the extent that they cannot obtain credit for the course.

Low Enrollment: The following courses risk cancelation due to low enrollment.
