THSGP Appendix | February 2021 Page B-8 Contact (TTPOC). The role of the TTPOC is to coordinate the tribes’ training needs and activities with FEMA and FEMA’s federal training partners and holds the same authority and roles that state training points of contact serve within SAAs nationwide. FEMA will coordinate with Tribal Training Officers (TTOs) as it relates to FEMA training when notified by recipients. Per FEMA Grant Programs Directorate IB 432, Review and Approval Requirements for Training Courses Funded Through Preparedness Grants, issued on July 19, 2018, states, territories, tribal entities, and high-risk urban areas are no longer required to request approval from FEMA for personnel to attend non-DHS/FEMA training as long as the training is coordinated with and approved by the state, territory, tribal, or high-risk urban area TPOC and falls within the FEMA mission scope and the jurisdiction’s EOP. For additional information on review and approval requirements for training courses funded with preparedness grants, please refer to the following policy: https://www.fema.gov/sites/default/files/2020- 09/fema_gpd-review-approval-requirements-training-policy_09-10-13.pdf. DHS/FEMA Provided Training and Education FEMA offers tuition-free training and education programs and courses through several providers including the Center for Domestic Preparedness, the Emergency Management Institute, and the National Training and Education Division’s Training Partner Program (TPP). TPP includes the Center for Homeland Defense and Security, National Domestic Preparedness Consortium, Rural Domestic Preparedness Consortium, and training partners through the Continuing Training Grants program. FEMA’s National Preparedness Course Catalog This online searchable catalog features a wide range of course topics in multiple delivery modes to meet FEMA’s mission scope as well as the increasing training needs of federal, state, local, territorial, and tribal audiences. The catalog can be accessed at http://www.firstrespondertraining.gov. Training Not Provided by DHS/FEMA These trainings include courses that are either state sponsored or federal sponsored (non-DHS/FEMA), coordinated and approved by the SAA or their designated TPOC, and fall within the FEMA mission scope to prepare SLTT personnel to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism or catastrophic events. • State Sponsored Courses. These courses are developed for and/or delivered by institutions or organizations other than federal entities or FEMA and are sponsored by the SAA or their designated TPOC. • Joint Training and Exercises with the Public and Private Sectors. These courses are sponsored and coordinated by private sector entities to enhance public-private partnerships for training personnel to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism or catastrophic events. In addition, states, territories, tribes, and urban areas are encouraged to incorporate the private sector in government-sponsored training and exercises. Additional information on both FEMA provided training and other federal and state training can be found at http://www.firstrespondertraining.gov. Training Information Reporting System (“Web-Forms”) Web-Forms is an electronic data management system built to assist SAAs, designated TPOCs, and federal agencies with submitting non-NTED provided training courses for inclusion in the State/Federal- Sponsored Course Catalog through electronic forms. The information collected is used in a two-step review process to ensure the training programs adhere to the intent of the HSGP guidance and the course content is structurally sound and current. As these programs may be delivered nationwide, it is vital to
