The CERT Train-the-Trainer Course is a three day, 23 hour course designed to prepare participants to deliver Federal Emergency Management Agency’s CERT Basic Training course. The CERT Train-the-Trainer course should be used as part of an instructor development strategy and is not designed to be the sole requirement to become a CERT Basic Instructor. It is strongly recommend to have new instructors shadow experienced instructors before teaching on their own.

This course provides participants an introduction into the concept of the cost line items of a Project Worksheet (PW) and explains how those cost line items should be used to establish the cost line item “buckets” within the Cost Estimate Tracking (CET). This course further explains the process for inputting expenses, adjusting expenses, allocating expenses to multiple buckets, identifying and correcting cost overruns, as well as other aspects of the CET. This course is a pre-requisite to ""Cost Estimate Tracking 102.""

This course was formerly named ""Beginner Cost Estimate Tracking."" ""Beginner Cost Estimate Tracking"" does satisfy this course requirement.

This course provides participants an in depth view of the Cost Estimate Tracking for the Expense Review process and includes a working exercise, at which time examples are worked through so as to enable hands-on training and facilitate further discussion. Pre-requisite for this course is ""Cost Estimate Tracking 101.""

This course was formerly named ""Advanced Cost Estimate Tracking."" ""Advanced Cost Estimate Tracking"" does satisfy this course requirement.

This course is designed to prepare the student to function effectively in the position of a type 2 incident commander, command or general staff. The focus of this course is on the application of previously acquired knowledge and skills. Students will participate in two types of groups (teams and similar position) during exercises. These exercises include a simulation of the mobilization, management, and demobilization phases of a rapidly accelerating type 2 wildfire that has potential to become a type 1 incident.

Human trafficking is best described as the despicable exploitation of others for profit through the use of force, fraud, or coercion. This pernicious act decimates the lives of the trafficked, fracturing families, and exploits the victim’s body and labor as a renewable resource.

Traffickers seek out vulnerable populations, commonly using techniques of physical and psychological abuse—utilizing fear and intimidation to exert control over their victims. Some traffickers keep their victims under lock and key, while others use less obvious methods, specifically debt bondage—asserting erroneous financial obligations wherein the victim feels honor-bound to satisfy dubious debt.

Trafficking has been described as akin to slavery and persists in all areas of the world with a significant presence in California. Tied with illegal arms sales, human trafficking is commonly seen as the second largest global criminal industry and as the fastest growing criminal activity in the 21st century.

The International Labour Organization estimates human trafficking generates approximately $150 billion a year globally.

This self-paced self-study course will examine and discuss numerous aspects of this criminal activity, to include victim traumatology; barriers to successful application of a victim-centered approach via trauma-informed care; how to effectively create and foster a multi-disciplinary collaborative anti-trafficking approach; and the role our information sharing environment play in understanding and articulating the trafficking threat.

The course creator has assembled expertise in their respective fields to bring deep meaningful discussion and context to this emerging crime.

Over the last 25 years, much of the research on terrorism has been accomplished without rigorous adherence to analytical frameworks. This series of three modules will trace the history of religious terrorism scholarship, introducing you to Social Identity Theory (SIT) and demonstrating how this particular scholarly approach within social psychology can provide nuance, depth, and rigor to your studies of religious terrorism. The first two modules will focus on explaining and exploring SIT itself, while the final modules take a closer look at the phenomenon we refer to as “religious terrorism.” By applying the analytical framework of SIT to different historical and contemporary religious terrorist groups, this course offers students of homeland security and terrorism studies a new understanding of group and individual dynamics within a covert environment.

After completing this series of modules, the student should be able to:

Define Social Identity Theory (SIT).
Discuss the effects of individual and group dynamics on an individual’s understanding of his or her identity.
Critically examine past and present approaches to terrorism studies.
Illustrate how Social Identity Theory can be helpful to analysts studying terrorism—particularly, religious terrorism.
Explain how organizations relying on religious authority to justify extremist actions use religion or theology as a strong in-group designation.
Understand the importance of properly recognizing terrorist motivation when giving an assessment or analysis of a terrorist group or attack.
Recognize the difference between religious and theologically motivated violence.
Give historical and contemporary examples of religious and theologically motivated terrorist groups.
Give contemporary groups or issues proper historical context.
Identify major religious traditions and sects that have provided motivation for terrorism in the modern age.
Identify some of the most influential authors on the subject.

This course will give participants strategies to help implement, manage, and sustain change. Participants will learn how to explain the basic principles of change management, determine strategies for implementing change initiatives, apply change management strategies to sustain change initiatives, and use those principles to facilitate change initiatives.

This course takes a closer look at critical information systems workflows using smartphones and tablets. Participants will learn how to configure and use the WebEOC app, access and browse Virtual Louisiana, and use Survey123 forms with or without a Virtual Louisiana account. WebEOC-100 and VLA-100 are not prerequisites for this course but are strongly encouraged. This course is for all WebEOC and Virtual Louisiana users.

Preparing for a potential active shooter incident is a crucial component of incident response planning. Given that these situations are dynamic, frequently unpredictable, and can escalate rapidly, understanding the appropriate actions to take during an active shooter event can be lifesaving. Every second counts.
