In GWX all you need to do complete one training mission to get the renown. (Navigation is quickest and easiest, obviously)

The GWX 3.0 manual clearly states on page 102 that "Stock Silent Hunter III granted renown points for completing training missions, with a maximum of 1500 points prior to starting your first patrol. GWX gives you 1500 renown points to start your career without having to take the training missions". So in GWX you should start with 1500 points irrespective of whether you have done any training missions. Like Telemon I have always started a career with 500 points so something is amiss, but in my opinion not worth worrying too much about.
