Level II Evaluations
This evaluation consists of two parts: a knowledge-based written examination and a performance-based assessment. The assessments will evaluate each student’s learning of course material. Students will be able to demonstrate their proficiency by applying knowledge and/or skills learned. Hands-on activities and multiple-choice tests have been chosen as assessment tools for this course. A minimal passing score of 75% must be achieved on the final assessment. Instructors will provide feedback to students following the activities and the final assessment.

21. Common Question - Do we need to take the classes over?
No. There is no FEMA requirement to re-take the new courses. However, each agency should develop training sustainability requirements for emergency management and response personnel that meet their respective needs.
At a minimum, in conjunction with participating in exercises and real events, emergency management and response personnel should refresh their NIMS training every three years. (NIMS Training Program, 2011)
FEMA recommends that people take the newer versions of courses to remain current with the latest developments in NIMS. This is to help ensure they maintain knowledge and skills, especially personnel who are not regularly involved in complex multi- jurisdictional incidents.
FEMA recommends that all instructors retake all prerequisite and primary courses they are authorized to instruct by the AHJ.

22. Way Ahead for the NIMS Curriculum
EMI will distribute training notifications and conduct webinars for each of the revised courses when they are available.
Current versions of NIMS/ICS courses and tests will remain active until revised courses are available.
Courses identified for revision have been prioritized based on course utilization within the emergency management community.
ILT Versions are in review and expected to be released soon.

23. Way Ahead for the NIMS Curriculum (cont.)
Intent is to Rollout remaining course on a four week schedule as follows:
June – AHPS Plans Section, July – AHPS LOG Section
August – AHPS OPS Section and COML
September – AHPS IC, Safety, PIO, and Finance/Admin, IS 700 ILT, IS 703
October – E/L0449 and AHPS T-t-T
IS 800 revision for NRF w/ILT to be developed starting Summer ‘19
