Asked Questions</h2> <ol class="faq"> <li style="margin-bottom: 20px;">Who should attend emergency management training courses?<div class='answer'><h3>Answer:</h3><p>Emergency Management Coordinators and other officials who have responsibilities in some aspect of emergency management should attend training. Personnel from police, fire, EMS, health, environmental protection, public works and educational agencies are encouraged to participate in the appropriate courses. The courses will increase management skills during the performance of day to day responsibilities, as well as in emergency response. Members of volunteer organizations, private non-profit agencies, and business and industry personnel who have emergency planning or response functions are also eligible for enrollment.</p> </div></li> <li style="margin-bottom: 20px;">How much does it cost to take a course? <div class='answer'><h3>Answer:</h3> <p>All NJOEM training courses all delivered free of charge.</p> </div></li> <li style="margin-bottom: 20px;">What days and times are courses held? <div class='answer'><h3>Answer:</h3> <p>Most courses are held on weekdays, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. At times, alternate scheduling of courses is arranged, including nights and weekends.</p> </div></li> <li style="margin-bottom: 20px;">Can I get a copy of the current schedule? <div class='answer'><h3>Answer:</h3> <p>The schedule is posted on the <a href="schedule.shtml">NJOEM Calendar</a> and is updated as needed.</p> </div></li> <li style="margin-bottom: 20px;">How can I apply to attend a course? <div class='answer'><h3>Answer:</h3> <p>Use the <a href="pdf/NJOEM_Training_Application_20190802.pdf" target="_blank">NJOEM Application <small>[pdf]</small></a> to apply for courses. Applicants selected for training will be notified of their acceptance approximately three to four weeks prior to the commencement of the course.</p> </div></li> <li style="margin-bottom: 20px;">Do classes have waiting lists? <div class='answer'><h3>Answer:</h3> <p>YES. Class size is limited so there is usually a waiting list for all courses, early application is recommended. Students are accommodated as spaces become available. Be sure to provide emergency contact information on your application (mobile phone) so you can be confirmed if space becomes available.</p> </div></li> <li style="margin-bottom: 20px;">Where are training courses held? <div class='answer'><h3>Answer:</h3> <p>Courses are held at the ROIC at NJSP Division Headquarters in West Trenton, NJ, or at county facilities throughout the state. Students will be provided directions to the training site with their acceptance letter. Field courses are open to participants from all twenty-one counties. Rules of the host county regarding parking, smoking, food in classrooms, etc. should be respected. Lunch is "on your own" and overnight accommodations are not provided.</p> </div></li> <li style="margin-bottom: 20px;">Will I get a certificate for the course? <div class='answer'><h3>Answer:</h3> <p>Every student who completes a course will receive a certificate of completion from the New Jersey Office of Emergency Management. Each student will need to maintain their own training records as NJOEM does not provide transcripts of past training.</p> </div></li> <li style="margin-bottom: 20px;">How can I request a particular FEMA course be delivered in my town, county or for my agency? <div class='answer'><h3>Answer:</h3> <p><strong>YES.</strong> It is understood that personal and professional commitments often prohibit attendance at a training site that necessitates long commutes and consecutive full days of instruction. Alternative field offerings permit those members of the emergency management community to receive the training they believe to be beneficial to themselves and their programs. However, these needs must be balanced by the availability of instructors, the number of courses on the yearly schedule, availability of an appropriate training site, and the potential for a class size of a least 16 students. </p> <p>We encourage those who desire emergency management training, unique or specialized training, business and industry training, or public officials conferences for members of their community and neighboring jurisdictions to contact the: </p> <div class="alert alert-info" role="alert" style="color:#000;"><p><strong>NJ Office of Emergency Management, State Training Officer</strong><br> NJOEM Training & Exercise Unit<br> P.O.
