UNCLASSIFIED ROUTINE R 021501Z AUG 18 FM CNO WASHINGTON DC TO NAVADMIN INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC BT UNCLAS NAVADMIN 188/18 PASS TO OFFICE CODES: FM CNO WASHINGTON DC//N1// INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC//N1// MSGID/GENADMIN/CNO WASHINGTON DC/N1/AUG// SUBJ/COMMAND PAY AND PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATOR PROGRAM UPDATE// REF/A/DOC/COMNAVPERSCOM/1APR18// NARR/REF A IS NAVPERS 18068F, NEOCS MANUAL.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces the launch of a formal 2 week course to train Command Pay and Personnel Administrators (CPPA) as part of the Sailor 2025 focus to improve the quality and timeliness of pay and personnel services across the Navy. Personnel Specialist (PS), Yeoman (YN), Yeoman (Submarines) (YNS), Navy Counselor (NC) rated personnel, those personnel in ratings assigned to commands without a PS, YN, YNS, or NC (E-4 through E-9), and designated civilian personnel are eligible to attend the CPPA course. The course will be held in Norfolk, VA and San Diego, CA. 2. Attending the classroom course provides our CPPAs a greatly enhanced learning experience, providing interaction with subject matter experts within a robust curriculum. This alternative to the existing computer based training (CBT) available on Navy eLearning (NeL) is a comprehensive, hands-on approach that will provide our CPPAs with the tools essential to initiate and transmit pay and personnel transactions. A pilot session of the course was completed in June with feedback from participants and suggested improvements immediately implemented, setting a record time for getting this training out to the Fleet. 3. Our priority is to ensure this training is available to Sailors designated as CPPAs currently in operational commands preparing for deployment. The NeL course is still available to earn the A16A Navy enlisted classification (NEC), however the preferred path to the NEC is through this C-School. Quotas are also available for civilian personnel assigned to commands where they are designated and function as CPPAs. For contractor personnel, the primary vehicle for training will remain the CBT courses until further notice. 4. Future convening dates of this course (A-500-0035) beginning on 13 August can be viewed in the Catalog of Navy Training Courses (CANTRAC), found at https://app.prod.cetars.training.navy.mil/cantrac/vol2.html. Each class will hold approximately 24 seats, with 21 dedicated to Active Duty/Full-Time Support and 3 to civilian employees who are, or will function as a CPPA. The quota control authority (QCA) will remain the Training Support Center-Hampton Roads (TSC-HR), and the primary method for quota requests is the Enterprise Naval Training Reservation System (eNTRS) via the Corporate Enterprise Training Activity Resource System (CeTARS) at https://main.prod.cetars.training.navy.mil/cetars/main.html. This will remain the method for commands to request quotas until billets are coded with the A16A NEC and Sailors are distributed to those billets. Once that has happened, the respective rating detailers will send those Sailors to the C- School in route to their ultimate duty station. We are also making plans to launch a Mobile Training Team that will train our CPPAs in areas outside of Norfolk and San Diego to include OCONUS locations. 5. To reiterate, Sailors can obtain the A16A Command Pay and Personnel Administrator NEC code now by either: a. Completing the NeL Command Pay and Personnel Administrator (CPPA) Training Course (PERS2-PERS2-PAYPERS-CPPA-CPPATRAINING-V1.0), Department of the Navy Annual Privacy Training (DON-PRIV-1.00, and Records Management in the DON: Everyones Responsibility (DOR-RM- 010-1.2) as identified in reference (a), or b. Completing the instructor led CPPA course (A-500-0035). 6. Additional CPPA resources are available at http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers- npc/support/paypers/cpcresources/Pages/default2.aspx. 7. Success of this transformation initiative requires engagement at all levels of leadership. From the triad down to the deckplates, we need full support and utilization of the CPPA program. 8. This NAVADMIN will remain in effect until superseded or canceled, whichever occurs first. 9. Released by Vice Admiral R. P. Burke, N1.// BT #0001 NNNN UNCLASSIFIED//
