FEMA-SPONSORED, <strong>NIMS</strong> COURSEWORK<br />
Below are FEMA courses (sorted alphabetically and by course code) that support the integration<br />
and implementation of <strong>NIMS</strong> as identified in:<br />

FEMA does not certify or validate any private vendor’s <strong>NIMS</strong> training course(s), course<br />
curricula, course materials, or instructors, regardless of content or instructor qualifications.<br />
State, local, and private sector partners that rely on these vendors to provide <strong>NIMS</strong> training<br />
must ensure the vendor training courses meet or exceed the minimum criteria as identified in<br />
course instruction guides. Courses must be taught using instructors that meet the<br />
recommended instructor qualification criteria and follow the timelines stated in the instructor<br />
guide. While instructors are encouraged to ―localize‖ courses, they cannot shorten courses or<br />
otherwise change course design.<br />
The following course codes categorize <strong>NIMS</strong> curriculum coursework:<br />
E/L: <strong>Emergency</strong> <strong>Management</strong> Institute-delivered courses<br />
F/R: National Fire Academy course (off /on campus)<br />
G: State-delivered courses<br />
