COMDTINST 12410.12
b. CSAs will provide each new civilian employee with a copy of the Civilian Orientation training
CDROM and this Instruction during civilian personnel in-processing.
c. Supervisors shall allow new employees a total of five (5) hours of office time to complete all
materials in the CDROM within the first 30 days of employment. In addition, supervisors will
provide eligible employees with information on COP course. The unit's CSA can assist
supervisors with this information. Supervisors will continue to be responsible for providing job-
specific orientation to employees under their authority.
d. Individual units will continue to be responsible for providing unit and/or job-specific orientation
training to new employees at their commands. In addition, units will ensure new civilian hires
are given time to complete the training and, upon completion of the CDROM, support them in
visiting an operational unit or units within their local commuting area. Units may choose to
allow employees to travel to operational sites outside of the local commuting area; however, the
unit will be required to provide travel and per diem funds.
e. New civilian hires will complete all modules of the training CDROM. Upon completion, they
are to print the completion Certificate, sign it, and request supervisor signature. New hires
should keep a copy of the certificate for their records.
f. The Leadership Development Center is responsible for maintaining the curriculum for the
resident course and holding scheduled sessions. Changes made to the resident course curriculum
are to be sent to Commandant (CG-133) for inclusion in the training CDROM.
8. USER GUIDANCE. Instructions for operating the CDROM are found on the inside cover of the
jewel case. In addition, once inside the training, the Help button located on the menu bar provides
troubleshooting guidance. To ensure you can see the entire training screen, set your computer's
resolution to 800x600 pixels. Each SWIII user has the ability to change the computer's settings.
Users may do this by going to Start, selecting Settings, selecting Control Panel, selecting Display,
and finally selecting Settings. Slide the marker for Desktop area to 800x600. If you prefer that the
training screen fill your entire monitor and choose a higher pixel setting, unlock your computer's
task bar before opening the CDROM or you will not be able to view the menu bar at the bottom of
the training screen which is needed for navigation.
9. ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECT AND IMPACT CONSIDERATIONS. Environmental
considerations were examined in the development of this Instruction and have been determined to be
not applicable.
10. FORMS. None.
