At the NDMS Summit held in Nashville a couple of months ago we were informed that ALL NDMS team members MUST complete the online training for the following Incident Command System classes:  IS 100, 200, 700, and 800.  Completion of all four classes will be required for team members to be deployable...that means deployable not only to disasters but also for our annual training conferences.   If you want to know which classes I show you having completed, please ask Jeff Zealley.
 
I understand that some of you may not see how these courses apply to you, but we must remember that even though each of us is still just one part of the whole "machine" it is important to understand how the "machine" operates.  Also, just because you are a funeral director, dentist, rocket scientist, whatever, that does not mean that once deployed you will only perform duties related to your profession.  You could easily be asked to fulfill other duties.
 
Each course will take 1 - 3 hours to complete so make sure you plan on that.  And, sorry, but we do NOT get paid to take the training.  Just remember, "Ask not what your country can do for you....
 
Okay, now that you've had the lecture, here's how to take the courses:
 
BEFORE you begin!  Please read the info on these pages:

ALSO, after you complete each course, you MUST e-mail me a copy of your completion certificate.  Here's how to save a copy of your certificate:
