The Emergency Management Institute (EMI) offers more than forty independent study courses. These are self-paced courses designed for people who have emergency management responsibilities and the general public. For most of our courses you will need to download and print the materials. Others are interactive courses that you can take directly over the internet on the NETC Virtual Campus. All are offered free-of-charge to those who qualify for enrollment. Each Independent Study Course includes lessons with practice exercises and a final examination. Students who score 75 percent or better are issued a certificate of achievement from EMI.

Course completion times vary from two to fourteen hours, depending on the course and the student’s background. College credit can be obtained after successful completion of a course. Click on the COLLEGE CREDIT item in the menu to the left of this page for details.

Enrollment: Official enrollment in the courses, scoring of final exams, issuance of certificates, and maintenance of student records is limited to United States (US) residents with a US deliverable postal address including APO and FPO addresses.
