ERI staff and associates are certified to teach the new US Federal ICS curriculum and the Canadian National Standard. It consists of 17 modules, organized into 6 "building block" courses, for a total of 69 hours. These courses can be taught in a series, as recommended by the US national training curriculum, or individual modules can be "mixed or matched" to the needs of the intended audience.

Instructor manuals, instructor kits, and supplemental teaching materials for any of ERI's training courses are available for purchase. Please refer to the ERI Bookstore Catalogue. ERI will provide 'train-the-trainer' workshops on any ERI training program upon request. As the designers and producers of emergency management and response programs, ERI's goal is to help you identify and accomplish your training needs. There are a wide variety of options available if you are interested in having these programs presented to your county, community or organization. Options range from "we provide instructors" to "teach it yourself." Give us a call, we will be happy to discuss opportunities and options! Detailed "Plans of Instruction" for any of these courses will be sent upon request. Let us know how we can help!

ERI utilizes the most up-to-date text materials, case studies and research documents. By combining the experience and knowledge of both the instructors and the course participants, a maximum positive learning environment is created. It is further enhanced by the use of practical problem-solving exercises.

This course provides participants with knowledge about emergency/disaster field operations that will enable an incident manager (commander) to direct the work efforts of others in a more coordinated and efficient manner.
