What are these NIMS courses

[flyguy06]

Course equivalents

I-100 = IS-100 = Q462
I-200 = IS-200 = G193 = Q463
I-300 = G300 = G195 = H465
I-400 = G400 = G196 = H467

No equivalents for IS-700 and IS-800.

I'd be a little leary about calling those all "equivilents". 

G193, 195, and 196 were pre-NIMS.  When the NIMS document was published in 2004, those courses all had to be redesigned to reflect the new methodologies/strategies/terminology.  They might be considered to be for a similar managerial level, but I would not consider them "equivilent".  I think that someone trying to function in an ICS-managed incident with only those courses under their belt would be at a severe handicap.  IMHO

And is your training recorded in the "Grand Database".  I know that DHS through the Center for Domestic Preparedness is trying to get it's arms wrapped back around ICS training.  Too many "Mom & Pop" organizations jumped into the frey without any kind of quality controls or oversight.

The designators on the end of the IS-100 courses and IS-200 courses reflect content for specific dicisiplines.  The content is almost identical, just focused towards those specific areas.  Taking any of them meets the criteria.

No designator = plain vanilla version
FW = Federal Worker
LE = Law Enforcement Personnel
PW = Public Works Personnel
SC = Schools
KC = Healthcare/Hospital Personnel

My training was done by the U.S. Army. No mom and pop here/ The course was taught by the Fire Chief that repsonded to the Oklahoma City Bombings. I think he is qualified.
