As you complete each course, you will will be directed to a final exam. After you complete each exam, you will receive a certificate of completion via email. Please forward the email to hr@nkyhealth.org and to your supervisor.

You can find all the courses on FEMA's website. Step-by-step instructions and specific course links are to the left of these instructions.

Each course + exam can take anywhere from 1.5 to 3 hours to complete and can be completed in multiple sessions.
