I received this document today from Joe Laud of Houston PD. I thought perhaps it would be a nice reference for all of us in the NIOA. Thanks, Joe, for sharing.
Attached is an Adobe Acrobat file (2008-12-08 NIMS Training Grid.pdf) containing a 2009 NIMS Training Grid listing all of the NIMS required and recommended training courses for various Emergency Response and Incident Management (EOC/MACS) personnel at federal, state, local, private sector, and non-government organizations. Please forward to appropriate personnel within your organization.
FEMA’s Emergency Mangement Institute has created new “a” or “b” versions of its IS-100, 200, 700, and 800 training courses that are now available free online. If you have already completed the older versions of these courses, you do NOT need to re-take the new versions; NIMS certification is good for five (5) years. However, new students should take the latest available version of each course.
