During the course, your instructor will review any additional attendance requirement, for example a field exercise that cannot be missed.

  FEMA’s National Training and Education Division (NTED) offers a full catalog of courses at no cost to help build critical skills that responders need to function effectively in mass consequence events. Course subjects range from CBRNE / Weapons of Mass Destruction terrorism, cybersecurity, natural disasters, and other functions of emergency preparedness, response, and recovery. NTED courses include multiple delivery methods: instructor-led (direct deliveries), train-the-trainers (indirect deliveries), customized (conferences and seminars), and web-based. Instructor-led courses are offered in residence (i.e., at a training facility), virtually, or through mobile programs, in which courses are brought to state and local jurisdictions that request the training.
