This program was developed in response to numerous requests from institutions (managed care organizations, EAPs, etc.) and individuals.
There are currently seven specific, not mutually exclusive, Certificates of Specialized Training that may be awarded upon provision of appropriate documentation showing completion of the required courses. The list of specialty certificates and requirements for completion may be viewed below.
The Certificate of Specialized Training Program is optional and voluntary and does not replace the award of individual course completion certificates.

[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”6″ ][cs_content_seo]Additional Information:\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”7″ ][cs_content_seo]Review the information below regarding completion of any of the Certificates of Specialized
Training:
All courses used toward completion of a Certificate of Specialized Training must be
officially recognized by ICISF (e .g. Certificate of attendance must be an official ICISF certificate; additionally, if taught by an approved instructor, the certificate of attendance must have an ICISF course number printed on the face of the certificate). If you are unsure whether a course you plan to attend is recognized by ICISF, contact Lisa Bowe at lisabowe@staging.icisf.org.
In compliance with the criteria set forth by the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) Department of Emergency Health Services Professional and Continuing Education (PACE), only those certificates which reflect the full contact hours (e.g. full attendance) for the designated course will count as a completed course for the Certificate of Specialized Training Program.
Any individual may apply for more than one Certificate of Specialized Training, provided the requirements have been met for each Certificate.
