Basic Emergency Management

The Basic Emergency Management course, or its equivalent, is offered by most provincial/territorial emergency management organizations (EMOs). This is an entry level course and, along with its provincial/territorial equivalents, is considered a prerequisite for courses conducted at the College.

Emergency Operations Centre Management

This training course prepares emergency management practitioners to carry out their roles as members of an Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) team. The EOC Management course trains participants to effectively manage and coordinate the overall operations within their communities, while also providing the necessary support to the site management team during a multi-service response to an emergency.

For more information about registering for CEMC courses, please see Enrolment or contact the Registrar.

Emergency Site Management

This course prepares emergency management practitioners to carry out their roles as members of an emergency site team. In an emergency situation, new relationships must be established quickly between community organizations, outside agencies, volunteers and other entities from various levels of government who might not normally work together. This advanced level course covers the principles of a coordinated multi-service and multi-jurisdictional response at an emergency site.
