Fringe employment such as security guard, night watchman, auxiliary police officer etc. will not be considered as EM experience. Military experience will not meet the requirement unless the individual served directly in a field that relates to emergency management.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT TRAINING AND EDUCATION
Emergency management training and education improves knowledge, skills and abilities specific to the emergency management function. Examples include, but are not limited to: incident command, mitigation planning, radiological monitoring and detecting, search and rescue, emergency operations centers, fire technology, and criminal justice and law enforcement. Training submissions must be within the last five years of the candidate’s last date of certification or re-certification. If the training certificate does not include hours, then it is the candidate's responsibility to provide independent verification (i.e. copy of training catalogue or a letter from the organization teaching the course) of training hours for the courses they are seeking credit. Otherwise, one full day of training will equal 6-hours of credit. FEMA independent study courses which list a range (i.e. 10-12 hours) the Commission will take the minimum amount of hours as a maximum amount allowed unless the certificate states a different number of hours.
Candidates must complete the Summary of Training forms (separate forms for disaster/Emergency Management Training and for General Management Training) that reflect the total training courses submitted for qualification. These forms show Title and Total Classroom Hours (limit of 25) and must be grouped under topic or subject areas. These will help the candidate and the Commission to summarize his/her training and ensure that the training does not exceed 25 classroom hours for each of the areas.
See Sample Training Allocation Chart for acceptable training and their allocations. Note: a course syllabus or curriculum outline is required as part of the training documentation for courses not listed on Sample Training Allocation Chart.
Emergency Management/Response courses are indicated with an E on the training allocation chart.
