1 and I-100
Since this is an open book exam, you may want to
download a copy of the Powerpoint presentation to your
computer so you can easily review the material as you
take the online quiz. A clever way to do this is
to open two windows on your computer, one with the
presentation and the second one with the test.
Read the test question and then review the presentation
for the answer. This may sound like cheating, but
you'll actually be learning the material, and that's the
objective. At the end of the test you'll be told
whether you passed.
Once you have passed the test(s):
1) Download your 'Certificate(s) of
Completion'
2) Save a copy for your personal records
3) Consult the latest
Org chart to identify the
current Emergency Services Officer
4) Email a copy of your certificate(s) to
the ES Officer so that the he/she can keep
the records up to date for inspections.
Alternately, print a copy and hand deliver
or snail mail it to the appropriate ES
officer.
Cool! Now, how do I now get my 101 card? Click here for help |
