Incident Command System (ICS) Training <br /> The model NIMS ICS curriculum adopted by DHS consists of four levels of training: <br /> ? I-100: Introduction to ICS <br /> ? I-200: Basic ICS <br /> ? I-300: Intermediate ICS <br /> ? I-400: Advanced ICS <br /> "The NIMS ICS is based on NIIMS ICS, Firescope and NWCG ICS, which are therefore <br /> NIMS compliant, for now. However, all ICS curriculums are currently being revised to <br /> more accurately reflect the NIMS, including Firescope, NWCG and ICS as taught by the <br /> National Fire Academy."' <br /> "According to .the NIMS Integration Center, emergency management and response <br /> personnel already ICS trained do not need retraining if their previous training is <br /> <br /> ,consistent with the DHS standard. This would include ICS courses managed, <br /> administered or delivered by the Emergency Management Institute, the National <br /> Fire Academy, NWCG, USDA, EPA or the U.S. Coast Guard." <br /> "People who have previously completed the NWCG I-100, I-200, I-300, and I-400 <br /> classes are considered to have met the NIMS ICS training requirements," even <br /> though they were written to the old learning objectives. <br /> OEM received conditional approval from DHS on the ICS Series Course as meeting the <br /> I-100 throu h 1-400 NIMS ICS trainin curriculum re uirements. The course is bein <br /> g g q g <br /> updated to reflect the additional learning objectives DHS has added to the ICS <br /> curriculum. <br /> The RISC stand alone ICS courses are based on the old NWCG learning objectives: <br /> ? Intro to ICS should meet I-100 and I-200 <br /> ? Planning, Operations, Logistics Sections should meet I-300 <br /> ? Incident Commander should meet I-400 <br /> 1Quotes from the NIMS integration Center web site: <br /> http://www.fema.gov/nims/nims_training.shtm emphasis added by OEM <br /> <br />
