FY27 Mandatory Training

Mandatory training is defined by SECNAV Instruction 12410.25 as training mandated by executive order, Federal statute, regulation or at the direction of the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV).    

NEW Fiscal Year 2027 (1 October 2026)
Cycle Adjustment: CUI training is transitioning from an annual refresher to a biennial refresher (every two years)
Employee and Supervisor Notifications: Employees will receive Waypoints notifications, but supervisors will no longer be copied. Supervisors must monitor progress using the Waypoints dashboards. 
Modernized Test-Out Framework: Eligible employees can now test out of several designated mandatory training courses directly within Waypoints. Eligible employees who score 80% or higher on a Waypoints pre-assessment satisfy their FY27 requirement. Those who do not pass or are taking the course for the first time (including new hires), must complete the standard full-length course.
     Eligible Courses for FY27 Test-Out:
  • 00-DON-DoD Mandatory Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) Training
  • 00-DON Identifying and Safeguarding Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
  • 00-DON Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR)
  • 00-SUPV Labor Relations (in the process of trying to have this course removed; will provide update) 
  • 00-SUPV Drug-Free Workplace
  • 00-SUPV Coaching, Counseling & Mentoring
  • 00-SUPV Workers’ Compensation
  • 00-SUPV Telework Training for DON Supervisors
Note: All other FY27 Mandatory Training requirements outside of these eight designated courses must be completed in full. The test-out option is only available for courses previously completed; first-time takers and new hires will be automatically assigned the full-length training.
Coming Soon - The following courses were not assigned as part of the 1 Oct MT assignments. As soon as new courses are available, the Program Office will assign them to the appropriate audience. 
  • 00-DON-Cyber Awareness Challenge (DOD)
  • 00-DON-DoD Mandatory Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) Training
  • 00-SUPV Unacceptable Performance
Waypoints has been identified as the new Learning Management System for all Appropriated Fund (APF) Civilian personnel and for Military who supervise (APF) Civilian personnel.  TWMS is no longer used for training.  All DON Mandatory training will be completed in Waypoints from this point forward.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Asterisk (*) = pending FY27 update. We will refresh this page as updates are finalized. 

New Waypoints URL as of 21 Aug 2025 don.csodfed.com

Training has officially transitioned from TWMS to Waypoints. Training self-certification will not be available - therefore it is HIGHLY recommended you get a jumpstart on your mandatory training directly in Waypoints.

*DON Cyber Awareness Challenge (DOD) (Information Assurance Training) (00-DON-CYBER_DOD)

Waypoints
This course has not been released for FY27.  Please DO NOT search for the course or you will be taking an earlier version.  If your course is expiring please contact ITSD and their department can provide you with a link until the FY27 version is released.  IF your course IS NOT expiring soon, please wait until course is assigned to your transcript. 
This training must be completed prior to gaining initial access to USNA information systems. To maintain system access, this training must be completed and recorded every fiscal year (FY) between 01 OCT and 30 SEP.

Per Navy IG direction, all users are required to upload their completion certificate using IT's Google Form. Delinquent user accounts will be disabled for failure to comply.

Users with an active CAC should complete the course through Waypoints or Navy e-Learning. Users without a CAC must coordinate with their direct supervisor to determine the appropriate completion path.

If you encounter any issues with the training or the certificate upload process, please submit a Web Help Desk ticket, email syshelp@usna.edu, or call x3-3500 for assistance.

Important Note: This course has not been released for FY27.  Please DO NOT search for the course or you will be taking an earlier version.  If your course is expiring please contact ITSD and their department can provide you with a link until the FY27 version is released.  IF your course IS NOT expiring soon, please wait until course is assigned to your transcript.  Training compliance is tied strictly to the FY calendar, not a 365-day rolling clock. For example, if this training is completed on 29 SEP 2027, it satisfies the requirement for FY27, but completion will be required again during FY28 (01 OCT 2027 – 30 SEP 2028).
