<br />Preparedness Grants Manual <br />7. Resources <br />7.1.Department of Homeland Security/FEMA Provided Training and <br />Education <br />FEMA offers tuition-free training and education programs and courses through several providers <br />including the Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP), the Emergency Management Institute (EMI), <br />and NTED’s Training Partner Program (TPP). TPP includes the Center for Homeland Defense and <br />Security, National Domestic Preparedness Consortium, Rural Domestic Preparedness Consortium, <br />and training partners through the Continuing Training Grants (CTG) program. <br />7.2.Training Not Provided by the Department of Homeland Security/FEMA <br />Trainings not provided by DHS/FEMA include courses that are either state-sponsored or federal- <br />sponsored (non-DHS/FEMA), coordinated and approved by the State Administrative Agency (SAA) or <br />their designated Training Point of Contact (TPOC), and fall within the FEMA mission scope to prepare <br />SLTT personnel to prevent, protect against, mitigate, and respond to acts of terrorism or catastrophic <br />events. These trainings often pertain to the HSGP and THSGP. <br />.State Sponsored Courses. These courses are developed for and/or delivered by institutions or <br />organizations other than federal entities or FEMA and are sponsored by the SAA or their <br />designated TPOC. <br />.Joint Training and Exercises with the Public and Private Sectors. These courses are sponsored <br />and coordinated by private sector entities to enhance public-private partnerships for training <br />personnel to prevent, protect against, mitigate, and respond to acts of terrorism or catastrophic <br />events. In addition, states, territories, tribes, and high-risk urban areas are encouraged to <br />incorporate the private sector in government-sponsored training and exercises. <br />Additional information on both FEMA provided training and other federal and state training can be <br />found at firstrespondertraining.gov. <br />7.3.Training Information Reporting System (“Web-Forms”) <br />Web-Forms is an electronic data management system built to assist recipients and federal agencies <br />with submitting non-NTED provided training courses for inclusion in the State/Federal-Sponsored <br />Course Catalog through electronic forms. The information collected is used in a two-step review <br />process to ensure the training programs adhere to the intent of the guidance and the course content <br />is structurally sound and current. As these programs may be delivered nationwide, it is vital to ensure <br />each training program’s viability and relevance to the Homeland Security mission. Reporting training <br />activities through Web-Forms is not required under present funding. However, the system remains <br />available and can be accessed through the Web-Forms section of the FEMA National Preparedness <br />Course Catalog to support recipients in their own tracking of training deliveries. Users need to <br />request First Responder Training System (FRTS) Admin rights from NTED to access the Web-Forms. <br />7.4.FEMA’s National Preparedness Course Catalog <br />Recipients are also encouraged to utilize FEMA’s National Preparedness Course Catalog. Trainings <br />include programs or courses developed for and delivered by institutions and organizations funded by <br />52
