The
Navy PMKeyS Project has begun training around Australia to meet
the Navy’s short-term needs. This training is designed specifically
for operators of PMKeyS who process leave, personnel administration,
and professional development and training (PD&T) as well as
initial basic PMKeyS training for all PMKeyS users. Training for
operators involved in Reserve administration will be provided
in Canberra.
The Navy PMKeyS Review “Addressing the Issues”, highlighted
a variety of issues due to a lack of appropriate training. These
issues include:
- Basic
training did not adequately address the needs of users; and
- The
level of proficiency in PMKeyS is inadequate, and
The
Navy’s PMKeyS Remediation Project team will address these
issues by delivering appropriate training to users across Navy
with the outcome that operators are equipped with the PMKeyS knowledge
and skills necessary to perform their job and the accuracy of
data in PMKeyS is improved. All personnel who require PMKeyS training
are encouraged to attend in their region, as this short-term training
will end in September 2003. Additional training may be arranged
after this date to meet the needs of ships unable to attend during
this period. Advice on how to get onto the courses will be provided
through local authorities.
Courses are scheduled as follows. Dates may be subject to minor
changes. Dates for Reserve Administration operators will be promulgated
in due course.
