All personnel using FMCSA systems, facilities, or sensitive FMCSA information must
complete IT Security Awareness Training no later than June 30, 2008. This requirement
includes State employees who access FMCSA safety information systems.
Many States have their own IT Security Awareness Training that is similar to the
FMCSA training. In such cases, State employees are allowed to complete their State's
training instead of the FMCSA training. State Organization Coordinators (OCs) must
ensure State employees who access FMCSA Safety systems complete annual IT Security
Awareness Training, either via their own State training programs or the FMCSA training
program.
States that do not have their own designated IT Security Awareness Training programs
can access the FMCSA Security Awareness Training by visiting
https://sat.dot.gov
and registering to take the course. If you have content questions or technical issues
with this site, please contact the DOT SAT Help Desk at mailto:NATL-SAT-Helpdesk@faa.gov.
When asked to select the COTR, State employees should select "FMCSA State Partner"
and then type "Not Known" when asked for the COTR's email address. The registration
process will not be completed until the COTR information is entered.

Where is the certificate my CD refers to, and what should I do
with the certificate?
Answer: Some of the IA training products include the
option to print out a certificate after training is completed. You should
print the certificate, sign it, and give it to your local training coordinator.
The certificate did not print. Can I have it emailed to me?
Answer: No. Certificates
are not recoverable once the window has been closed. The training will need to be
repeated if the certificate fails to print. Make sure a printer is properly configured
with the workstation and is full of paper before beginning the training. The courseware
will prompt your computer to print the certificate if all modules have been taken.
