Position Training

Position training is more advanced than systems training and goes into greater detail on how to execute the roles and responsibilities of a specific position within the Incident Command System. This training immerses students in the detailed expected outcomes, necessary interactions, products and deliverables, processes, and the techniques necessary to be successful in the performance of their specific position in ICS. Position training is designed to instill much of the key knowledge required to enable an individual to perform the duties of a specific position beyond the basic level as a member of an Incident Management Team.
