The American Radio Relay League now offers Emergency Communication Courses online, including EC-001. These are self-paced courses either all by yourself or with a mentor.
This is a revision of our former Emergency Communications Basic/Level 1 course.
Description. This course is designed to provide basic knowledge and tools for any emergency communications volunteer. The course has 6 sections with 28 lesson topics and includes a selection of student activities, knowledge review quizzes, and a final assessment. The course is conducted entirely online and can be completed at your own pace, allowing you to work according to your own schedule.
Prerequisites. Before you begin the course you should have completed the following prerequisites. These courses provide a foundation for the content of this course. These are free mini-courses you can take online:
- ICS-100 (IS-100.c) Introduction to the Incident Command System
- IS-700 (IS-700.b) National Incident Management System
