3 Specialist Certificate Anticipating the need for degree programs, standardized training and academic credits, CalEMA/CSTI now offers the Specialist Certificate Program. Criminal Justice certificates may be earned in: Emergency Crisis Communications Curriculum advisory groups ensure curriculum is current and in compliance with state and federal standards including SEMS/NIMS, Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The State Training Officer and the State Exercise Officer serve as California s principle training and exercise liaisons to the Federal Department of Homeland Security and FEMA. Courses meeting requirements for FEMA s Professional Development series and Advanced Professional Series may qualify for dual certifications. 25

4 Credential Program Emergency responders have assisted neighboring communities whenever help was needed. Given today s challenges, the potential for communities to require help from emergency response organizations across the state and the nation has increased significantly. The need for specializations in emergency response places additional demands on our emergency response communities. To meet this need CalEMA has implemented the Emergency Response/ Credentialing program to support emergency response throughout the state and the nation. Eventually it will provide a seamless transition into the larger effort of the National Emergency Responder Credentialing system providing mutual aid support through the Emergency Assistance Compact (EMAC). This voluntary system will provide timely identification of key ICS personnel from the field to the state level. The development of the statewide credentialing database will assist Incident Commanders and EOC Directors with the means to quickly and accurately identify qualified emergency responders throughout the state. 26

5 College Credit Eligibility In addition to completing the CalEMA Emergency Specialist Certificate, course participants can earn college units towards an accredited degree program. College credit is available through the California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly). This allows course participants the option of obtaining college credit for an additional fee. All curriculum is reviewed and approved by Cal Poly to ensure compliance with academic standards and accreditation requirements. Emergency courses currently eligible for college units: Earthquake: An Introduction to Emergency Crisis Communications I Disaster Recovery Managing Sustained Operations Enhanced Exercise Design, Conduct, and Evaluation Disaster Planning Disaster Mitigation You can earn academic credit for these selected courses offered by the California Specialized Training Institute (CSTI). Earning academic credit in these courses not only prepares you for leadership positions in these growing fields, but also can help you complete an undergraduate degree or graduate degree.
