ES & FEMA-NIMS Training and Testing

Basic Emergency Services Training & Testing
 
Cadets must be properly trained to participate in Air Force-approved exercises and missions.  This process can be time-consuming, but it is necessary for all CAP cadets and seniors.

The cadet or senior must do the following:
  1. Pass the open-book FEMA-NIMS IS-100a test and obtain certificate.
    • Go to the IS-100Aa testing site.  Allow about 3 hours.
    • Review the training materials.
    • Take the test on one screen while training materials are on another screen.
  2. Pass the open-book FEMA-NIMS IS-700a test and obtain certificate.

Please keep in mind that this is a process.  For most cadets, it takes some time.  Other cadets seem to fly through it.  If you don't pass a test the first time, don't sweat it.  You can retake it again -- just like ALL of us have done, no matter what our age.
