One of the main advantages in being a member of the US Coast Guard Auxiliary is the availability of a tremendous amount of information and training material. Here are links to a number of training pages and sites, mostly for members though some is available to the public.
From the National site:
The Auxiliary Training Directorate hosts a variety of Distance Learning (DL) courses on the Coast Guard Learning Management System (LMS), the Auxiliary Learning Management System (AUX LAMS), and on MOODLE, a blended learning, distance education, flipped classroom and other e-learning platform used by universities. This provides members a method of attending and completing courses in which lectures are broadcast or classes are conducted by correspondence or over the Internet, without the member’s needing to leave their home during this COVID-19 time of “stay at home’ government mandates.
