CDP Instructor Development Training Week scheduled

FEMA’s Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) will offer a week of on-campus train-the-trainer courses September 10-15.

Train-the-trainer courses serve as a force multiplier, enabling participants to take information they learn at the CDP back to fellow responders in their organization and communities. The center offers instructor development and train-the-trainer courses for a variety of professional disciplines, including law enforcement, healthcare, emergency management, and the fire service.
