DoD military and government civilians with a Common Access Card (CAC) can self-register for a JKO account.

• Go to https://jkodirect.jten.mil, select Login using my CAC, and complete an account profile.

If you do not have a CAC but have a government or military email account (i.e., ending in .mil, .gov, nps.edu, or dodea.edu), you may obtain a login and password account.

Individuals and multinationals with no CAC or government or military email account may request a sponsored account.  In this case, the sponsor must be a US government service civilian or military member. Contractors cannot sponsor accounts.

Watch how to get a JKO account.

To maintain the integrity of the learning process, JKO embeds controls monitoring time spent in the course, as well as ensuring the learner is not using any developer tools or other unacceptable means to progress through a course, bypass content, manipulate tests, or otherwise circumvent the normal functioning and requirements of each course. When the LMS determines that such activity has occurred, the record is flagged, and the learner receives an automated email indicating suspicious activity. The LMS automatically drops the user from the course. A user may relaunch the course but will start at the beginning of the course.

If the tabs at the top of the screen are not viewable, you will instead see three stacked horizontal lines at the top right of the page. Click on that icon, and your tabs will return. Once you click it, the three stacked lines turn into an X. You can toggle that icon back and forth to show or hide the tabs.

If you see a "spinning wheel" symbol that indicates the system is updating your student record. Please be patient and let the system process your request. Do not attempt to force the system to respond faster by clicking on other buttons because you may receive an application error.

Unresponsive buttons can happen for several reasons, including cache buildup, inactivity, or compatibility with older or non-supportive browsers. When a page or content becomes unresponsive, we recommend you log out of the LMS (do not simply close your browser's window) and clear the cache and cookies of your browser. Once complete, log back into the LMS, launch the course, and select the Resume button.

Ensure your system meets system requirements.
