Sample Global CEM®/AEMSM 
		
	

		
Training Course Allocation Table
		
	

		


		


		


	
	

		
This is a sample only and is updated annually. Training courses not listed are acceptable too.
		
	

		


		


		


	
	

		
NOTE: This is not a list of APPROVED training courses for the CEM®/AEMSM. The topics 
		


		


	
	

		
listed in this document are SAMPLE subject matter divided into the areas of emergency 
		


		


	
	

		
management and general management. The training courses listed are SAMPLE courses 
		


		


	
	

		
only. No list is all inclusive. There are many other courses that are acceptable to fulfill the
		


		


	
	

		
emergency management and general management training hours requirement. Subject 
		


		


	
	

		
matter and training courses not shown on this list are acceptable as long as the appropriate
		


		


	
	

		
training form and course completion certificate is provided in the CEM®/AEMSM application.
		


		


	
	

		


		


		


	
	

		
This list was developed because many of the older FEMA course certificates and the
		


		


	
	

		
certificates issued by various state emergency management agencies did not list
		


		


	
	

		
classroom contact hours. This document then assisted the CEM® Commissioners during
		


		


	
	

		
CEM®/AEMSM application packet reviews. The CEM® Commission provides this document
		


		


	
	

		
as a guide for CEM®/AEMSM candidates as they prepare their application packet.
		


		


	
	

		
Follow the instructions specified in the CEM®/AEMSM application packet. Address any 
		


		


	
	

		
questions to IAEM headquarters at info@iaem.com. 
		


		


	
	

		


		


		


	
	

		
Though a course may list more than 25 hours, a candidate may only receive 25 hours
		


		


	
	

		
maximum credit per topic area. A total of 100 hours is required in both emergency
		


		


	
	

		
management and general management to satisfy the training requirement.
		


		


	
	

		


		


		


	
	

		
All emergency management training while it may be in the context of a related discipline,
		


		


	
	

		
must be substantially related to emergency management to receive credit.
		


		


	
	

		


		


		


	
	

		


		


		


	
	

		
1 college semester hour = 15 hours
		


		


	
	

		
1 official continuing education unit (CEU) = 10 hours
		


		


	
	

		


		


		


	
	

		
Course work completed to earn the baccalaureate degree CANNOT also be used to meet
		


		


	
	

		
any portion of the 100 hours of the emergency management or general management training
		


		


	
	

		
requirement. If additional advanced degrees are held, associated course work can be 
		


		


	
	

		
applied to the training requirement.
