Electronic Training Jacket (ETJ) provides a view of career information documented in Navy personnel databases, such as training and education (including Navy eLearning, NECs, and college courses), qualifications and certifications, career history, advancement status, and awards.

Periodically, afloat Sailors should compare their afloat ETJ with the Internet version to ensure the two accounts are synchronized and all data is present in their Internet-based ETJ.

To log in to ETJ go to Navy Knowledge Online (NKO) and under the Learning tab, click Electronic Training Jacket.

Sailors on surface ships with a NIAPS server installed may go to NKO at Sea and find an afloat version of their ETJ by going to the Learning tab and clicking on Electronic Training Jacket.

To find assistance or help contact your Command Training Officer (TRAINO) and/or Command Career Counselor (CCC).

Use new functionality in FLTMPS Afloat, Electronic Training Jacket (ETJ) Afloat, and Navy eLearning (NeL) Afloat.

Note: The MU1B-5 Upgrade Release delivers new functionality for afloat training and personnel systems. See your NIAPS System Administrator for status of the upgrade onboard your ship.

1. With the upgrade of MU1B-5, all active FLTMPS account holders have access to FLTMPS Afloat. FLTMPS Afloat is available in the disconnected environment provided by the Navy Information Application highlighting: FLTMPS, ETJ and NeL (Afloat) brought to you by OPNAV N15 FIT and the NTMPS Program Product Suite (NIAPS) installed onboard surface ships and submarines. FLTMPS Afloat can be used regardless of your ship’s Internet connectivity or bandwidth limitations and is updated weekly.

2. View the ‘User’ name displayed at the top of each FLTMPS Afloat screen to ensure your data is displayed in the report and not that of someone else.

3. View the FLTMPS Afloat ‘NAFL Load Status’ page to obtain currency status of data used by FLTMPS Afloat, ETJ Afloat and NeL Afloat. • Select ‘ADMIN > NAFL Load Status’ from the left menu and verify the following:

• AILE version should be 3.2.5.
• NAFL Data Mart version should be ‘Generic’.
• NAFL Datamart Build Date should be within 10 days of current date.

• For all discrepancies, request your NIAPS System Administrator investigate and resolve.
• If issue cannot be resolved, request support from Navy 311.

4. View the new FLTMPS Afloat ‘NIAPS NeL Afloat Verification’ report for a list of NeL courses completed onboard that may not be documented in ashore databases due to NIAPS replication issues.

• Select ‘ADMIN > NIAPS NeL Afloat Verification’ from the left menu and verify pending course completion status.
• If status is greater than two weeks old, request your NIAPS System Administrator investigate NIAPS replication status.
• If issue cannot be resolved, request support from Navy 311.

5. View the ‘Training’ tab located in both the ETJ Afloat and the FLTMPS Afloat Individual Data Search to see a visual indicator of NeL Afloat course completion status.

• Courses highlighted in yellow with a source code of ‘NLN-PEND’ indicate that the course completed via NeL Afloat is pending official entry in the Ashore ETJ.

Navy eLearning (NeL) delivers computer-based learning designed to enhance your professional and personal growth.

To log in to NeL via the My Navy Portal click here. Click on Quick Links, then click Navy e-Learning and then go to Online courses.

• You may complete NeL courses in the connected environment (via the Internet) or in the disconnected environment (provided by the shipboard NIAPS server).
• In the Internet environment, the NeL home page links to mandatory training, thus providing a listing and direct access to courses you are required to complete.
• On the afloat NIAPS server, the NeL home page provides lists of courses available (or not available) on the ship or submarine.

Use Navy eLearning (NeL) to enroll in and complete Navy Schoolhouse, Professional Military Education (PMW), General Military Training (GMT), and Information Assurance courses.

To log in to NeL on surface ships with a NIAPS server installed, go to NKO at Sea. On the Learning tab, click Navy e-Learning and then go to Online courses.

To find assistance or help contact your command Training Officer (TRAINO).

* NKO was retired on April 14th 2017. NKO functions are now in My Navy Portal (MNP). MNP is an all new system that allows Sailors to “Self Service” manage their careers from hire to retire.

Direct access to the online Navy e-Learning (NeL) management system website will be available at a new web address beginning October 23, 2017.

The direct NeL link of https://learning.nel.navy.mil is available 24/7 and will take Sailors directly to the ‘My Learning’ and ‘Course Catalog’ tabs of the NeL learning management system after logging on.

Although direct access to NeL is available through the internet, a Common Access Card (CAC) is still required for NeL login. Courses on NeL have been standardized to run using the Internet Explorer browser.

Sailors depend on NeL to help advance their careers and stay current with training requirements. Courses range from general military training to specific training for individual units. The site also contains an individual’s training history where completion certificates can be obtained. To find certificates for completed courses, click on the ‘Open My Training History’ link located above the ‘Show Individual Courses’ and ‘Show Curricula’ tabs.

Trainees using NeL complete over five million online courses a year, from a comprehensive catalog of 12,500 distance learning courses. The Naval Education and Training Command relies on NeL for use in schoolhouses for individual skills and skill refresher training.

To access NeL through a link on My Navy Portal (MNP), select the “Professional Resources” drop-down menu, then “Navy e-learning Online Courses.”
