The Incident Command System is a standardized management system used to organize and manage a scaleable response to emergency incidents of any magnitude. EmergeX offers all levels of ICS training from introductory to advanced-level courses.

In order to ensure your first responders and other staff tasked with emergency management and response are familiar with ICS, EmergeX trainers offer all levels of ICS training from ICS-100 (see our free downloadable ICS 100 course manual in the Course Catalog section below) to ICS-402.

All EmergeX Incident Command System (ICS) courses are certified to meet both the U.S. National Inter-Agency ICS Curriculum (National Wildfire Coordinating Group) and the new Canadian ICS curriculum developed by the Canadian National Training Working Group (comprised of member agencies of the Canadian Inter-Agency Forest Fire Centre). Students receive either an NWCG, CIFFC or IEPC certificate of completion. Where required, Canadian terminology and practice has been incorporated. This curriculum has been accepted by the BC Government and, for BC students, covers all areas of the Site Level 1001 of BCERMS.

Course material consists of a student reference text, videos, exercises, small group discussions and tests.

The original ICS curriculum was sponsored by the US National Wildfire Coordinating Group and developed by a steering group consisting of experts from the New Jersey State Police, State of New Mexico Department of Public Safety, US Forest Service, Orange County Ca. Fire Department, US Bureau of Land Management, California Department of Forestry and the Los Angeles County Fire Department. The curriculum was originally designed for inter-agency use. The material is not confined to one discipline and is intended for all emergency responders. Module presentations and exercises are tailored to our client's needs on a course by course basis.
