Wanted to let you know of more free online training in addition to the previous list of
recommended courses. Please pass this along to your Chief, Safety and training officers.
Note the following courses offer blended learning, online and hands on components. They can either be taken together or separately. For hands on, your department must schedule for training and is offered through out the country. All of them are excellent training opportunities.
These are all free online first responder courses that offer certificates and that I highly recommend. Please pass this along to your Chief, Safety and training officers.

You were given erroneous information. The correct link is the FEMA Emergency Management Institute, where you can take free online courses for ICS and NIMS, among several other course offerings. Upon viewing the entire online course and successfully passing an online test , it will generate a certificate of completion. It may take awhile, but you can then print a copy of it to submit for your records.
