Illinois Professional Development Series (PDS)
Individuals enter the emergency management field with a variety of backgrounds
and training which are often unrelated to the wide range of responsibilities to
be fulfilled by today's emergency management personnel. Thus, seven courses,
the Professional Development Series (PDS), presenting a variety of subjects
pertinent to the emergency management field, are offered to supplement and
complement the knowledge and skills of new personnel. The seven courses are:
-
Decision Making and Problem Solving*
-
Developing Volunteer Resources
-
Effective Communication
-
Emergency Planning
-
Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation program (HSEEP)**
-
Principles of Emergency Management
-
Leadership and Influence
* Decision Making in a Crisis may be substituted
** Exercise Design has been replaced by HSEEP
These courses may be taken in any order over an unspecified time. Persons completing the on-line courses thru the FEMA Independent Study Program will be awarded a FEMA Certificate of Achievement. This certificate will be signed by the Superintendent of FEMA's Emergency Management Institute. Persons completing both the online and classroom portion will be awarded the Illinois Professional Development Series certificate. This certificate, signed by the Governor of Illinois and the IEMA Director, will be awarded at the annual IEMA Conference. The Illinois Professional Development Series certificate is a requirement for those applying for the Illinois Professional Emergency Manager Program.
If you want to learn more about the Training Program or are interested in
attending a specific course, please contact the IEMA Regional Coordinator
serving your county. Registration must be made in advance to attend any course.
To check the status of your Illinois PDS, log on to our online registration and check your transcript.
