​This page outlines the steps for requesting a course for local delivery through the EMD Training Office.

• A Training Request Form must be completed for all courses and submitted to the Regional Liaison Officer and State Training Officer. Please submit the form at least 90 days prior to the requested date for the course to be held.
• A Course Justification Form may be requested if the course is not in either the jurisdiction's or the EMD Training and Exercise Plan (TEP).  This form should be attached to the Training Request Form.
