E601 - Management and Supervision of Training

Course Description:

This 36 hour course is designed to enable participants to develop, plan, manage, and evaluate a training program effectively. Key topics include using an EMI-developed training management analysis tool to develop a training program, design and develop courses, and select training sites, arranging logistics, promoting teamwork during training, minimizing liability, evaluating a training program, and developing an awareness of the alternatives available to standard classroom delivery.

This course is the initial activity in the Master Trainer Program. As such, it provides a surface look at the functions of needs assessment, course design, course development, course delivery, and course evaluation. It is appropriate for those training managers whose training responsibility is a collateral responsibility or who are new to the position.

Selection Criteria:

This course is designed for those who have overall responsibility for developing, planning, managing, and evaluating training programs. FEMA regional training managers, State emergency management training officers, and other State-level organizational training managers are appropriate candidates for this course. Managers of local training organizations will be accepted provided they demonstrate that the system they manage is of a complexity commensurate with that of the State emergency management organization which includes all of the functions identified above.

Prerequisites:

Applicants must have the responsibility for developing, planning, managing, and evaluating a training program.
