The Federal Emergency Management Agency continues to monitor the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as it relates to COVID-19. To mitigate the spread of COVID-19, the CDC is encouraging organizations to promote social distancing, hold meetings via videoconferencing, reduce non-essential travel, and adjust or postpone events and gatherings. We also continue to evaluate the local and national situation and will provide regular updates.
Students will be notified in advance concerning the status of their on-campus course offering.
We thank you for your understanding, and we invite you to visit our extensive catalog of Independent Study Courses as well as classroom courses available by virtual delivery.
There is currently an issue with verifying FEMA Student Identification (SID) Numbers, as a result Independent Study (IS) course exams, Instructor Materials Download Application (IMDA ), the Student Training Asset Repository (STAR), and NETC Online Admissions are not available until the FEMA SID issue is resolved.

Welcome to the NIMS ICS All-Hazards Position Specific Training Program Website. This site is maintained by the Emergency Management Institute (EMI), which is a part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The site is intended for the use of those Federal, State and Local personnel, managers, and instructors who have direct involvement with the All-Hazards Position Specific Training Program. Users include: Regional Training Managers, State Training Officers, NIMS Training Coordinators, Incident Management Team members, Statewide Interoperability Coordinators, National Wildland Coordinating Group, Department of the Army, qualified Position Specific instructors, and other persons having direct involvement with the program.
The primary goal of the NIMS ICS All-Hazards Position Specific Training Program is to provide advanced level training needed by personnel responsible for managing incidents of greater complexity than those typically encountered during routine operations. This training is designed to provide all-hazards competencies and behaviors for Command and General Staff and selected Unit Leader positions within a Type III and/or Type IV Incident Management Team (IMT) environment. Competencies in the training are focused around the ability of the student to assume specific position responsibilities, lead assigned personnel, communicate effectively, and to ensure the completion of assigned tasks in order to meet identified objectives for the position.
Site users will find links to several different sites including:
In order to maintain site control and integrity, some links have been password protected. All Regional Training Managers, State Training Officers, NIMS Training Coordinators, and Statewide Interoperability Coordinators have been provided with access to all sites and related links. Qualified instructors have been provided with access to those courses for which they are qualified to teach for downloading purposes, as well as to the Planning P video link.
Potential students interested in taking on-site or regional offerings of Position Specific courses or other courses at EMI must meet the selection criteria and prerequisites specified for each course. Participants may not take the same course more than once. EMI courses are generally limited to U.S. residents, however each year a limited number of international participants are accommodated in Emergency Management Institute courses.
