Online NIMS 700 & 800

[RiverAux]

My 300 class (taught by state emergency mgt) didn't lose anybody due to pre-test problems and about 95% or more of the students had done it online.  Now, if you take the 200 course and then don't use ICS for 4 years and then take 300, obviously you're not going to remember much.  Except for stuff like the difference between strike teams and task forces, I'd be fairly confident that most experienced adult CAP ES members wouldn't have a problem.

That is an issue with on-line courses with on-line tests.  It is too easy to breeze through the material, pass the test, and never intellectually absorb the information so you can use it later.

does this mean I can take 700 and 800 even though I haven't completed 300,400.? (Is there a 500 and 600?)

[mikeylikey]

^ Yes.  300/400 is in-residence anyway. 

[ThorntonOL]

for IS 700 and 800 which fema course are needed. (as in one 700? or two in that series.)

[isuhawkeye]

I dont understand your question.  Can you please re-state it???

[ThorntonOL]

Basically what do we need to qualify for IS 700 and IS 800 on our qualifications.

[Jolt]

You just have to take the online course and pass the final test.

[Short Field]

^^^then give a copy of the course completion certificate to your ES training officer or personnel officer.

So is there a difference between 800, 800.A and 800.B that I've seen mentioned here? I completed 800.B this week, but didn't see "800" on the course offering list. Is the "B" just an updated version of 800 or a different course?
I also completed 100, 200, 700, and 809. I'm a teacher, so I have lots of time to sit and read during the summer. I also completed 100.SC and 362 to see if I can get professional development credit for them from my school district.

[Jolt]

I think that the courses with the .B or what have you after the course number are the same course but tailored to certain organizations.  For instance, the IS-200.HC is geared toward healthcare organizations, but still meets the requirements for IS-200.

[isuhawkeye]

the course IS 800 was replaced by IS 800B when the National Response Plan was replaced by the National Response Framework

Might be a stupid question but....

I should take IS-800.B now to satisfy my IS-800 qual?

[RiverAux]

Not if you already did the first one.  No specific version of 800 has been mandated by CAP.

[SilverEagle2]

I have not taken any prior...actually I just passed IS-800.B so I guess I satified the requirement.

Thanks

I see your stupid question and raise the bar a little   

Is there a dummies guide to NIMS?  What ones are required, and for who?

Notes:
1. ICS-400 is recommended but not required for specialties marked with an "*".
2. ICS-400 is required to be completed by the Federal compliance date which is currently 30 September 2009.

iCC's NIMS Memo, see attached:

[Jolt]

IS-100 should be checked off for the GES row (I see that it is in the bottom image).  Is IS-700 really a requirement for a GTM?  I've completed the course and I have a certificate from something else I'm involved in, but I've never recorded credit in CAP.  I've never had a problem with my GTM nor my FLM status, though.  Is this new?

Never mind.  I should read memos before I post, eh?  Well, I guess I should get my IS-700 certificate turned in.

[CadetProgramGuy]

Personally speaking at a minimum you should get ICS 100, 200, 700, 800.

Then go get the Professional Development Series doen. There is useful knowledge in all of it.

Personally I have completed 34 of the FEMA courses.
