Member Training
All Auxiliary members are required to complete core training to participate in many of the Auxiliary’s activities. You should take core training online on at the Auxiliary Classroom. Get access using the following link: https://classroom2.cgaux.org/moodle/. You might need a new login if you have not visited the site in the last few years. For questions about access, you can contact Pam. Note: If you have lapsed on any of these courses, you will not be able to participate in your program activities nor receive some Auxiliary awards, ID cards and other benefits. An email was sent last November or December to members who were recently overdue.
Workshops are required for TCT Refresher, Ops, and TCO Workshops, and suggested for VE, PV, and IT instructors.
These workshops are offered in both webinar and in-person formats depending upon the course. Materials for Workshop Instructors are available from the recent ALAUX 005/25 link: https://wow.uscgaux.info/Uploads_wowII/BX-GROUP/005_25_2025_NATIONAL_WORKSHOPS.pdf.
The first offering of TCT-R is via Zoom on the evening of 06 Feb. If you need it and have not yet emailed Pam, please do so ASAP.
Jeff Shaw plans to conduct the 2025 Ops Workshop before the Flotilla Meeting on 20 March.
