Eligibility and Cost
Department of the Navy (DON) and United States Marine Corps (USMC) personnel who meet course prerequisites are eligible to attend courses listed herein. Interested personnel from other Department of Defense (DoD) activities or federal agencies who meet prerequisites will be "considered" 30 days prior to the class convening date, on a space-available basis. These will not be processed until 30 days prior to class convening date. There are no tuition charges for government employees to include foreign nationals employed by the DON or USMC. Attendance by international military students and non-government personnel may require reimbursement and will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Naval Safety and Environmental Training no longer provides quota control services. Quotas are obtained from Training Support Center Hampton Roads Central Quota Control (CQC) office or as indicated on the course description page. They can be reached by e-mail at tschrquotas@navy.mil. Quota requests can be submitted through our homepage or as specifically indicated in the individual course description.

Obtaining a Quota
Quotas must be obtained via eNTRS at the following website https://main.prod.cetars.training.navy.mil/cetars/main.cac_message.
If you have problems with eNTRS please contact the eNTRS helps desk for assistance (entrs_helpdesk@navy.mil)
If you have problems obtaining a quota please contact Quota Control at (757) 492-5336.
- Time restrictions: There are no time restrictions for requesting or processing quotas. Due to high demand, we recommend that quotas be requested as far in advance as practical. Student names must be provided. "No name" quotas will not be accepted since they frequently result in "no shows" and prerequisites cannot be verified.
- Prerequisites/Waivers: Read prerequisites carefully and ensure that your written request clearly states the specific prerequisite(s) the prospective student(s) meets which establishes their eligibility to attend the requested course. Waivers to all prerequisites must be submitted in accordance with the following procedures.
- The prerequisites and waiver provisions for Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) personnel have been established in support of OPNAVINST 5100.23 (series), Navy Occupational Safety and Health Program Manual; OPNAVINST 5090.1 (series), Environmental and Natural Resources Program Manual; and OPNAVINST 5100.19 (series), Navy Occupational Safety and Health Program Manual for Forces Afloat. If a waiver to a prerequisite is required, the activity must submit an official letter with written justification signed by the Commanding Officer with the quota request. The statement "meets all prerequisites" will not be accepted.
- All personnel must have 12 months from course date remaining in job assignment.

Quota Confirmation
Quotas will be confirmed or disapproved by email as soon as the quota request is processed.
- "Confirmed Quota" information will indicate a granted quota. Multiple names from one command may appear on one confirmation.

Cancellations/Substitutions
So that others may attend and to avoid being listed as responsible for an unfilled quota(s), commands having a confirmed quota(s) must notify the Central Quota Control (CQC) office, or office through which the quota was obtained, of a cancellation/substitution as soon as possible and in no case less than three working days prior to the class convening date. Notification of cancellations or substitutions may be submitted via eNTRS, naval message, e-mail to CQC at tschrquotas@navy.mil or on our Homepage: http://www.public.navy.mil/navsafecen/navsafenvtracen/
Substitutes must also meet the prerequisites of the course.

"Fair Share" of Quotas
To ensure the maximum number of commands have access to our courses, there is a "fair share" limit of 20% of class size per convening, per command (ship/activity), per geographic location. Exceptions will be made when there are still seats available within thirty days of a convening.

Sequential NAVOSH Core Courses
OPNAVINST 5100.23 (series), Navy Occupational Safety & Health Program Manual lists eight core courses recommended as a minimum for Safety Professionals to include in their IDP's: Electrical Standards (A-493-0033); General Industry Safety Standards (A-493-0061); Introduction to Hazardous Materials (Ashore) (A-493-0031); Introduction to Industrial Hygiene for Safety Professionals (A-493-0035); Introduction to Navy Occupational Safety and Health (Ashore) (A-493-0050); Navy Ergonomics Program (A-493-0085); Machinery and Machine Guarding Standards (A-493-0073); Mishap Investigation (A-493-0078) and NAVOSH Assessment Tools and Strategies (A-493-0089). In an effort to assist personnel overseas and in remote sites in obtaining cost-effective training, these eight courses have been scheduled annually back-to-back in both Norfolk and San Diego to allow sequential attendance in two or more core courses. These sequences are identified in the catalog by an asterisk next to the training date. We recommend early submission of quota requests for these offerings.

Naval Safety and Environmental Training Center Course Scheduling Procedures
Our course catalog is developed using input from major claimant’s training needs assessment data provided to Naval Safety and Environmental Training Center projecting the number of anticipated students needing training by course and location. We analyze throughput data from the three previous years, showing actual student attendance by course and location. The training schedule may be modified for several reasons including: low enrollment, operational requirements, requests to change dates resulting from local situations that prevent proper utilization, and requests for special and/or additional convenings. Therefore, Naval Safety and Environmental Training Center course schedules are subject to change. The most current schedule will be maintained on our web site at http://www.public.navy.mil/navsafecen/navsafenvtracen/.

Low Enrollments
Approximately 30 -60 days prior to a convening date, course registration data is reviewed. If enrollments are low, course supervisors communicate with POC's in the area of the convening. A final decision on whether to convene a class is generally made 30 days prior to a conus convening and 60 days prior to an oconus convening to allow sufficient time to alert participants of relevant details or cancellation. Minimum attendance levels are established for each convening that reflect student base population, cancellation impact on scheduled students, port loading, etc., as well as, the cost of instruction (contractor costs, instructor loads, travel expenses, etc). Because failure to attract sufficient students in a location is considered during the out-year scheduling process, every effort is made to insure local personnel are alerted to training opportunities.
