1. What training do I have to do?

• All of your requirements are listed on TWMS in your "Training/Educ/Cert & Skills" section under "Training requirements" and there is an excel spreadsheet located above in the Federally Mandated Training section. For more help navigating TWMS click here.

2. Where do I do my training?

• All training should start on TWMS.  You may be redirected to another site (ie: NeL) to complete a requirement.

3. How do I track my training?

• All training regardless of where it is hosted is tracked on TWMS in your "Training/Educ/Cert & Skills" section under "Training requirements." For more help tracking your requirements on TWMS click here.

4. Why isn't my training completion updated?

• If your course is done directly on TWMS it may take the system up to a week to show up in your requirements section as completed. If the course is done on another site (ie: NKO/JKO/ESAMS etc) it can take longer for the data to update. Any training done face to face is entered within a week of the training but may also take up to two weeks to show up in your record.

5. If I attended face to face training do I still have to do it online?

• No. Some requirements list multiple ways to complete the training. Any one of those will fulfill that requirement.

6. The training has multiple options for fulfilling the requirement. Which do I do?

• The training options are listed in order of preference but you may complete whichever option works best for you.

7. I am a supervisor. What training do I have to do?

• Supervisor training is listed above in the Federally Mandated Training section. The spreadsheet has a tab labeled "Supervisor Training." Supervisor training is due every 3 years and is offered face to face twice a year.

8. I am a supervisor. How do I see what training my employees have left?

• You can see your employees by logging into TWMS just as you normally would for yourself. Once logged in, on the left hand side, click "My Workforce." From there all of your employees will pop up. Click on the employee you would like to see and you can track their training just as you do for you own. To pull reports and show all employee completion at once, click "Report Services" on the left hand side. Click "Training & Education/Security/IA" on the top. From there you can choose which report you would like to use. You can see all current training requirements with "Training Requirements" or statistics "Training statistic by requirements" etc.

9. Which browser should I use to get on TWMS/NeL etc?

• Internet Explorer is the best browser to ensure full functionality of the system. For more help see the TWMS Browser Settings Guide.

10. Why can't I find/enroll in CTIP (Combatting Trafficking in Persons) on NeL?

• You will likely need to take the prerequisite "CTIP for Leaders" (JKDDC-TIPL-0001) and not the refresher course. The refresher will not allow you to enroll unless you have completed the Leader course in the last 3 years.
