APPENDIX C:<br />

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 />

<strong>Emergency</strong> <strong>Management</strong> Institute <strong>Training</strong> Catalog:<br />

www.training.fema.gov/EMICourses/EMICatalog.asp<br />

National Fire Academy Course Catalog: www.usfa.dhs.gov/nfa/catalog/index<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 />

IS: Independent Study courses<br />

K: Instructor led on-line EMI course<br />
