IAEM Certification Prep Course and Exam

IAEM Certification Prep Course

The IAEM Certification Prep Course will be offered if interests warrant a session to be scheduled.  Please email EMconferencecommittee@gmail.com to express interest in the prep course.
The preparatory course includes: Review of CEM program requirements (experience, education, professional contributions and more); explanation of the AEM program requirements; application procedures; tips for successful program completion; an overview of the AEM/CEM exam; the standards upon which the exam is based; sample exam questions; and a Q&A period. Please come prepare to ask specific questions related to the program and/or to your personal credentials submission.

• Purpose: To relieve exam anxiety, not to teach emergency management principles.
• How: Discuss the AEM/CEM exam mechanics; facilitate an interactive discussion of emergency management principles; cross-walk through practice exam questions.
• Who should attend? The AEM/CEM Exam Prep Course is intended for professional emergency managers interested in obtaining the Certified Emergency Manager designation. A Certified Emergency Manager is an individual who possesses the knowledge, skills and abilities to effectively manage a comprehensive disaster/emergency management program. That program can be in, but is not limited to, government, business and industry, military, health care, or educational institutions.
• Cost: $495 per person
