Nationally Accredited Emergency Management Courses
We offer a range of nationally recognised training courses and qualifications in emergency management, incident management and designing and managing exercises in a classroom, face-to-face delivery. These courses are not offered on-line.
Our courses follow a progressive learning pathway which leads to a qualification at the Advanced Diploma level.
The Level 1 Incident Management Course (2 days) provide learners with the knowledge and skills required to apply emergency management concepts and principles, and jurisdictional emergency management arrangements to organisational policies, procedures, planning and decision making. The course also covers the competency to develop networks and relationships and liaise effectively with other organisations.
The Level 2 Incident Management Course (5 days) provide learners with the knowledge and skills to perform the role of an Incident Controller, Planning Officer, Logistics Officer and Operations Officer at a Level 2 Incident.

This qualification addresses both the planning for, and the management of major risks. Major risks may arise from the interaction of hazards (such as fire, flood, severe storm, etc) with communities and organisations. The planning and management of such risks in a multi-organisational activity is a focus throughout the course. The designing and management of exercises to prepare communities/organisations for hazards is also addressed.

Non Accredited Emergency Management Courses
The Introduction to Incident Management Course is a one day introductory and awareness course delivered face-to-face and designed for professionals who have minimal or no prior experience within emergency and incident management. Participants will be introduced to underpinning principles, processes and functions of incident control systems, including AIIMS (Australasian Inter-Service Incident Management System).
Non Accredited Online Courses
The Introduction to AIIMS is an on-line course which takes around 2 hours to complete on the AFAC Online Training platform. It is designed for professionals who have minimal or no prior knowledge and skills about the AIIMS structure. It is particularly useful for those who need to be familiar with AIIMS such as admin staff, contractors, volunteers, new graduates and/or personnel who provide minimal support to the Incident Management Team. There are no formal assessments and therefore this is not an accredited course, but it is very cost-effective at $350 per person (GST inc) and can be completed in your own time for a period of 3 months.
