IMSA’s In Person Certification Program has been providing public safety training for over a century through our traditional way of learning during in-person conferences and standalone events. Some are also offered through video conferencing platforms. IMSA and IMSA Sections will continue to offer our traditional opportunities in a safe and socially distanced environment.
What Is Offered?
Whether you choose the In Person or Online certification program, you will have access to courses and exams in a variety of program areas.
- Course and Exam – If you are interested in pursuing certification in a particular field, we recommend that you take a moderated review course led by experienced safety professionals who meet IMSA’s standards for quality program facilitation. These Level I and Level II courses are offered both In Person or Online at times that are convenient for busy professionals and provide participants with a comprehensive review of the skills necessary to perform specific technical tasks in the area of focus. At the end of the course, you will take a proctored exam.
- Challenge Exam (Exam Only) – If you wish to review the material for a particular certification through a self-study process, you may take a proctored Level I, Level II, and/or Level III challenge exam without taking a review course.
- Audit Course (No Exam) – You may also choose to take a course for continuing education credit without taking an exam.
NOTE: If you are seeking certification, you are required to have a certification manual for the appropriate program. If you are taking the audit course the manual is highly recommended, although not required.
