ICS 100 and 200 Review, Test Preparation and Facilitation


Understand the Incident Command System and Complete the FEMA Exams Onsite

Move beyond clicking through an online course alone. Tampa Bay Training helps participants understand Incident Command System concepts, connect them to Florida and local-government operations, prepare for the FEMA examinations and complete the testing process onsite.

FEMA courses supported: IS-100.c and IS-200.c
Length: Eight hours
Price: $250 per participant
Delivery: Instructor-led onsite only
Private billing minimum: Seven participants
Maximum class size: 20 participants
Completion documents: Two FEMA certificates after successful exams, plus a TBT certificate


The Two FEMA Courses

IS-100.c: Introduction to the Incident Command System, ICS 100

IS-100.c introduces the principles and basic structure of ICS. Participants examine NIMS management characteristics, ICS functional areas, the Incident Commander, Command Staff and General Staff.

IS-200.c: Basic Incident Command System for Initial Response, ICS-200

IS-200.c builds on ICS 100 for personnel who may assume supervisory responsibilities during initial response. Participants examine authority, management by objectives, organizational components, briefings, flexible organization and transfer of command.

The package addresses IS-100.c before IS-200.c because IS-100.c is the prerequisite for IS-200.c.


What Tampa Bay Training Adds

FEMA provides the Independent Study materials and examinations. TBT adds:

  • Instructor-led explanation and review
  • Florida emergency-management and local-government context
  • Public works, utilities and infrastructure examples
  • Discussion of how field operations connect with ICS
  • Local processes, relationships, contacts and coordination considerations
  • Practical exercises and knowledge checks
  • FEMA SID and Login.gov guidance
  • Facilitated onsite examination time
  • Help accessing FEMA completion documents
  • A separate TBT certificate for the instructor-led and local-content portion

TBT supplements rather than alters the FEMA material and does not imply FEMA endorsement.


Who Should Attend?

The package may be appropriate for:

  • Public works and utility employees with incident assignments
  • Field supervisors, crew leaders and managers
  • Emergency Operations Center support personnel
  • Facilities, fleet, streets, stormwater and solid-waste personnel
  • Local-government employees involved in response or recovery
  • Infrastructure and engineering personnel who coordinate with public agencies
  • Employees preparing for additional role-based incident-management training

Employers and jurisdictions should determine which NIMS training applies to each employee's assigned incident role.


What Participants Will Learn

Participants examine:

  • The purpose and benefits of ICS
  • NIMS management characteristics
  • Command, Command Staff and General Staff functions
  • Operations, Planning, Logistics and Finance/Administration
  • Incident objectives and management by objectives
  • Delegation of authority
  • Span of control and organizational flexibility
  • Incident briefings and meetings
  • Transfer of command
  • Unified Command concepts
  • Application to local-government incidents and planned events

FEMA Examination and Certificates

Each participant signs into the FEMA system and submits the IS-100.c and IS-200.c examinations personally. FEMA scores the exams and issues a separate FEMA Independent Study certificate for each successfully completed course.

Tampa Bay Training does not administer or score the FEMA examinations and does not issue the FEMA certificates. Passing is not guaranteed.

Participants also receive a TBT certificate documenting completion of the eight-hour instructor-led package. The TBT certificate does not expire.


Technology and Account Requirements

Before class, participants should:

  • Create or retrieve their FEMA SID
  • Create or confirm their Login.gov account
  • Make sure their FEMA SID and Login.gov information match
  • Confirm access to the applicable email and multifactor-authentication method
  • Bring a suitable computer when requested

Participants control their own credentials and examination submissions. TBT does not collect or retain passwords, security answers, recovery codes or multifactor-authentication codes.

The client should provide a computer lab or allow participants to bring suitable computers when possible. TBT can provide up to five backup computers. Groups relying on TBT computers may need testing rotations that extend the schedule.


Onsite Facility Requirements

The host provides:

  • A classroom with tables and chairs
  • Reliable internet service
  • Adequate power and charging access
  • A display or projector when available
  • A computer lab or participant-device access when possible

TBT coordinates any backup computers and display equipment before the class.


Private and Public Classes

Private classes have a seven-participant billing minimum and a maximum of 20 participants. Public onsite classes may be scheduled for individuals and smaller groups.


Accessibility and Technical Support

Contact Cindy before registration to discuss accommodations, accessible seating, course-material needs or testing technology. FEMA controls the accessibility and operation of its own account, examination and student-portal systems; TBT will help participants locate available FEMA support resources when needed.


Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an official FEMA classroom course?

This is a TBT instructor-led review, preparation and facilitation package based on FEMA Independent Study material. FEMA controls the IS-100.c and IS-200.c examinations and issues the FEMA certificates.

Can I take the FEMA courses free online?

Yes. FEMA offers the Independent Study materials online at no charge. TBT's fee covers instructor support, Florida and local application, facilitated review, account assistance, onsite examination support and the separate TBT certificate.

Can TBT create my FEMA SID or Login.gov account for me?

TBT can guide you, but you must create and control your own accounts, passwords and multifactor-authentication methods.

Do I receive two FEMA certificates?

Participants who successfully complete both FEMA examinations receive an IS-100.c certificate and an IS-200.c certificate from FEMA. TBT also provides its own certificate for the complete instructor-led package.

No. An employer, jurisdiction, grant program or policy may establish its own retraining requirement.

Is this available live online?

No. TBT currently provides the package onsite.
