Required Courses

Note: Beginning January 1, 2023, TEEX requires Physical and Cyber Security for Critical Infrastructure as a required course to complete the Infrastructure Protection certificate. Please download the updated certificate application linked above before attempting submission.

Note: The AWR401 course is not considered an equivalent for the MGT310 Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment and Stakeholder Preparedness Review course. The AWR401 course is a reduced hour, web-based alternative designed to more quickly reach a broad national audience with information on the updated THIRA/SPR process.
