Courses

    Federal funds allocated from the US Department of Transportation are used to provide hazardous materials training to all first responders in the State of Illinois to include those public employees who may come across a hazardous material during the course of their work day. The training is designed to provide a base level of knowledge so that the first responder is safely able to protect him/her self and the general public. The funds are allocated to the Illinois Fire Service Institute (IFSI) and the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA). Through these Agencies, training is available to first responders free of charge.

    The Hazardous Materials Awareness Training Program through IEMA was last updated in January 2009. IEMA will be working with IFSI on updating this curriculum to reflect the latest changes to the 2016 ERG. All IEMA Instructors will be provided the new curriculum along with all new materials and tests once these changes are implemented. IEMA will provide an Update to the curriculum as the new ERG's are distributed (every 4 years).

    Below you will find a list of the Hazardous Materials Awareness Training courses that are offered through IEMA. Click on a course title for a brief description of the course.
