Where can I find more information on courses and prerequisites?  Course descriptions and pre-requisite information can be found on the ETQC "C" school site or the ICS Training Guide

NIMS Training Requirements: National Incident Management System (NIMS) related training is one of the most important elements to become fully compliant with NIMS. Click on Related Content "National Incident Management System (NIMS)" for more information.

Entering ICS Training Completed: All units must enter and track member ICS training using TMT. All ICS training is listed in the task area of TMT.  COMDTINST 5270.2 directs TMT use for training and qualification entries.  The course completions will be automatically be entered in Direct Access but not in TMT. 

What if I have lost my ICS Course Certificates?

• If the ICS course information has already been entered in TMT, the member does not need certificate again to prove training for CG purposes.
• For USCG ICS courses, records of who attended ICS courses are NOT kept. If the member has a lost certificate and the information has not been entered in TMT, the members can contact the instructor who taught the course and see if they kept a record of attendance.   
• For FEMA's Emergency Management Institute ICS Courses: CG members who completed Independent Study Courses through FEMA's EMI (e.g., IS-100, 200, 700, 800) and lost their certificates can complete and mail the EMI Transcript Request Form to receive proof of all EMI courses completed by the member. Their Website says about 30 days for response (usually quicker from our experience).
