Yes. However, funds for the NIMS courses that are available online are limited to $1,000 per course. Since these courses have already been developed, and are available online free-of-charge, funds may only be used to pay for the trainer’s time to deliver the training, not for any course development expenses. Given these facts, ED believes that $1,000 is sufficient to cover the cost of a trainer to deliver a NIMS course. To help build local capacity, applicants are encouraged to consider sustainable approaches to NIMS training, such as using local first responders as trainers, certifying LEA staff to deliver the courses, or utilizing the free, online courses provided by FEMA.
