How to take a course online?

• Proceed to the course list: http://training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/
• Select your course from the list.
• After completing the course, be sure to submit your final exam, so you may get full credit for the course. (The link to the final exam questions and answer submission page is found within the last lesson)
• If your email was input correctly on the exam, you should receive a confirmation the next business day for the course and a certificate via US mail within 3 weeks.

Note – if you are on dialup internet access (or do not have internet access) then you can request a form to take the test and mail in. Please let me know if you need the form and I will get one for you ---- your certificate may take up to seven months to receive if you submit your test via the form.

John has also let me know that there will be times that we can take selected courses in a classroom environment. He will let me know when they are available.
