Emergency Management Certificate Programs

Résumé du livre

In this report, the authors use a review of the research literature, a review of emergency management certificates, and program director interviews to identify best practices to support the National Disaster and Emergency Management University (NDEMU) in developing its certificate programs. They offer templates intended to help future NDEMU certificates follow a shared path from creation to development. The report also identifies future topics for NDEMU certificates based on current NDEMU course offerings and potential needs in the field. Certificates are more robust than a single course but less demanding than a full degree. They are designed to offer a coherent package of knowledge and skills in one area and to require a feasible amount of effort for the kind of working professional that makes up much of NDEMU's audience.
