Start the clock - I say it becomes mandatory before the end of the year, possibly considered at the next NB.

I'm waiting for mine to be scored, I found most of the subject matter to be appropriate to both our operations and common-sense
use of Social Media in general.

I took a very similar course, though more advanced and in-person, at our EOC today.  It was very informative! 

Since this one is online, I'll add it to my list.



As an aside, is there a place to upload certificates for classes like this that are not required for anything in e-services, just as a record of completion of additional training?

Might be a reasonable addition to the PIO and IC SQTRs.

Coming from a PIO I completely agree.  Personally I think the PIO requirements are way too light.

You could upload it as an "other" in OPS Quals.

Interesting - the presentations can be found doing a search, but not the tests, and as stated it's not on the course lists either.

Well, I got mine!

The computer generated voice in the presentations is interesting. There are some pronunciation goofs.

Reminds me of a girl I used to know...

Not bad.  Got my certificate.  Thanks for the heads up.
