^ However, they not need be documented to NHQ.

I'm not sure where you are going with that - the CAPF 11 documents that those things were completed, in total.

Level 1 requires the OPSEC NDA and EOT be completed - the only was to substantiate those is either the hard copy cert or the posting in eServices (which happens quickly).

Regardless, when the CAPF 11 is signed by the CC, he is testifying that all requirements for Level 1 have been completed, including the summary conversations, etc.  He should not be sending the CAPF11 to NHQ until all the pieces are done.

I meant not documented separately.  As in submit a new Form 11 with a check in the "other" box.  My mistake I should have been more clear.

The CC doesn't sign the CAPF 11, it's signed by the PDO.

Level 1 submissions are simple - there's no need to add steps where they're not required.

My bad - it is called the Summary Conversation not the Commander's Conversation.

This was covered in a package sent to Commanders last year.  The Knowledgebase provides the following.  Note what it says about the end of Level One training.

Summary Conversation Guide and credit for Level One

  Question
  Who does the summary conversation for the new Level One course and what are the qualifications?



  Answer
  The commander appoints a mentor for new members of the unit.  The mentor should be someone with enough experience to be familiar with the operation of the unit and wing. The mentor should be able to share knowledge of the organization and an understanding of CAP's core values of Integrity, Volunteer Service, Excellence, and Respect. Finally, the mentor should help new members understand their role in CAP by providing a model of desired behavior.

The commander provides a copy of the Summary Conversation to the mentor. The summary conversation is intended as a one-on-one wrap-up activity between a mentor and a new member.  The commander ensures a CAPF 11 is completed and submitted to National Headquarters, crediting the new senior member with completing Level One. See below details from the Summary Conversation for the mentor and the unit commander.

Summary Conversation Guide, Level One

New senior members in the unit will use their "Next Step" CD or will go online to begin their Level One training. Level One consists of the Foundations Course, the online Cadet Protection Program Training (CPPT), and the online Operations Security (OPSEC) Awareness training. Visit Level One  for details.
For the Foundations Course and CPPT,  new members will independently read a series of articles and take open book quizzes that will test their knowledge of that information. They will bring these quizzes back to the mentor for review. The correct answers are noted in the Summary Conversation Guide.
There is no pass or fail. Commanders should select a mentor from the unit to validate the answers and to ensure that new members correct their quizzes to 100%. This guide will help accomplish this task.
This "Summary Conversation" guide will also help the new member put the topics they read into perspective. The mentor will help the new member understand the reason why CAP has core values, why CAP members wear a uniform and why CAP emphasizes safety. In the process, the new member has an opportunity to ask questions in an informal, no-pressure setting.
The training ends with a casual discussion between the unit commander and the new member. Our members deserve to be recognized for their hard work. To do this, commanders need to credit the new member with completing Level One training, and to initiate paperwork for any promotions or the award of the membership ribbon for those who are eligible
