I enjoyed the balance of self study and group work. Day 3 was very interactive and the Mock Exercise was pretty fun. Lots of information and a great refresher of Emergency Management.

I have been looking to take this EM200 training for a long time. A friend found this one, and I had it vetted by professionals that it was a legit, and certified program, I was amazed at how well it was coordinated for an online interactive program. The first two days of self study was preferable to me. I work full time and can normally fit training in here and there, so this worked very smoothly. The exercise was fun, guided just enough, and gave me a thorough understanding of everyone's role and responsibility in all areas from preparing to recovering from an emergency. Thanks Melissa, Great Work!!

This format was really well presented and thought out. It is great being able to learn something new and not have to travel or meet for several days in a classroom. You can learn on your own and have one final day. All the information was covered and explained in a way to make it easy to understand. Had a minor issue with the google docs program but it was fixed right away. Keep up the great work Melissa!

Excellent course material presented in a very cohesive and comprehensive manner. Proud to be one of the first class members to have learned this material online during a challenging time in Emergency Management. Melissa Taaffe is an excellent instructor and I look forward to further courses with her. She was able to teach things effectively and focused in such a short amount of time. I was also quite happy with the material being able to be learned at your own pace ahead of time. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the group I worked with.
