Courses

This screen is a list of training courses. The course information is used throughout the IQS system. The courses are used to identify planned and completed training for an individual Certifications/Training, define the training requirements for a job Reference Data/Job Prerequisites, schedule training courses Training/Schedule Training and any other place where courses are used in the system.

 

Locally defined courses can be added to this list of NATIONAL courses. Local courses should be identified as either STATE, REGION, or AGENCY SPECIFIC. The courses identified as NATIONAL will be maintained as a nationally supported and approved reference set. Only those identified as NATIONAL may be updated or overwritten in future IQS updates.

 

NOTE: Clicking the mouse on most of the column headings will allow the user to sort that column by ascending Ascending or descending Descending order.

 

The NATIONAL data distributed in this table is based on the latest version of the NWCG PMS 310-1 Guide.
