This webinar can be used as a refresher of ICS-200 or to assist you in taking the IS-200.c exam offered through the FEMA Training website. Completing the webinar alone does not meet the requirements for completing ICS-200. You will still need to take the exam offered through FEMA to receive a certificate of completion for ICS-200. Once you have passed the test offered at www.training.fema.gov, you will receive an email with a certificate of completion attached.
