If you have previously taken any training courses with IEMA, we will attempt to match your registration with our current training database.

Use your email address and this password to log in to the system.

Once you have received the email containing your password, click on the "Login" menu option. Enter your email address and password into the appropriate fields. If you wish for the system to remember you on subsequent visits, click the "Remember my email address" checkbox and it will be populated for you whenever you come to the login screen.

The login screen has a link you can use to have your password emailed to you in the event you cannot remember it. Enter your email address into the email address field and then click the "Email it to me" link. If the email address you entered is found in the system your password will be emailed to the appropriate account.
