This class is the equivalent of taking the FEMA IS-800 (National Response Framework Intro) class online, except it will be taught live and in-person by a CSTI outreach instructor for the ICS and EOC suite. The instructional portion of the class will end at 21:30.
To become certified, you have two testing options:
- Frannie can administer the test and issue the certificate from CSTI. You will be given 30 minutes (21:30-22:00) to complete the test in the classroom. CSTI certificates cost $15.00 each, plus tax.
- Take the test at the FEMA website online after the training. After the class ends at 21:30, you can decide when to take the test on your own time. The FEMA certificates are free and dowloadable from their website.
There are 12 positions still available.
Go to scc-ares-races.org to sign up.
