Ombudsman Training Schedules

Ombudsmen are required to attend Ombudsman Basic Training (OBT) within six weeks of their appointment, per OPNAVINST 1750.1 series. OBT schedules are posted by state and installation at the Ombudsman Training Schedules link. Some classes are offered in remote locations for Reserve and other isolated ombudsmen. OBT is standardized and any ombudsman, active duty or Reserve, can attend any training as approved by their commanding officer.

CNIC now offers (eOBT), an electronic version of OBT which consists of five webinar modules and four on-demand modules. eOBT training is available to all command ombudsmen, however, ombudsmen are encouraged to attend OBT classroom training at their local FFSC whenever possible. Senior leadership staff, senior leadership spouses, and FFSC staff may attend on a space available basis.

All Ombudsman Program webinars require the user to have an account on the Learning Management System (LMS). This is a separate account from your Ombudsman Registry account. To create an account go to LMS. After creating your account, you may log in to register for the desired training. Certificates of attendance will be available on the LMS after you have completed each webinar.
