IS Courses for ARES/RACES
Why must one always dig to find information in this information centric world of ours? Here is a summary of useful training materials for taking the required courses for HAM based participation in the RACES/ARES groups within the community.
FEMA Courses – The easiest way to take the courses is to go to the course, and look at the right hand border, and download the Student Manual for each course. Also while you are there, download the Final Exam Questions in PDF format, print them out, and select your answers on your printout, while reviewing the manual on your computer. Do be careful, when going back to take the final exam online, they do move the questions around on some of the tests.
Once you have finished with the test, you will fill out a form, and receive a link to the certificate if you have passed via email.
