Cal OES Communications Reserve Unit Training Materials

 

Updated 1 August 2020

The following information is made available to the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services Communications Reserve Unit staff. If you're involved in emergency communications or working as part of an emergency response / emergency management team, you might be interested in this. This page will probably expand in content as I get more direction for additional topics.

Please note that CSTI produces a Monthly Training Bulletin that is a great resource for identifying classes that are offered throughout the State of California. The offerings cover a broad range of topics, including many that could be pertinent to the training required of us, such as IS-300 and IS-400. Many of these classes are offered at no charge to agency staff. If you find something you want to enroll in, coordinate with your Region CRU Training Officer or Deputy Chief CRU Officer for assistance and approval.

Note - Current COVID-19 concerns have greatly limited monthly offerings.
Check back regularly for updates.


Study materials for classroom training.
These links will allow you to download Student Materials for recommended certification courses. These materials are somewhat dated, they were given to me when I took the courses. They are not meant to prepare you for a test as much as they are meant to give you a good idea of what is involved in obtaining these certifications. These are "zipped" (compressed in Windows 7 Enterprise) folders, with approximate sizes indicated.
