If you are, welcome! The easiest way to get to the information page about the online ICS courses is to click on the button below. Just that easy.
But if not, just skip the button and look at the great stuff we do below.
Most training fails for one simple reason: people hear it once, nod along… and then real life shows up.
We do it differently.
At Cardinal State Preparedness Consultants, we build training that’s hands-on, scenario-driven, and built around how your people actually work - in your EOC, in the field, and in the messy middle between plans and reality.
If you want training that feels like a conversation and a workout (not a lecture), you’re in the right place.
We partner with Your Crisis Team to deliver virtual training that’s interactive and practical — not just another web meeting you sit through.
Here’s the idea:
Short instruction (just enough to set the stage)
Then you use it immediately through activities, prompts, and scenario work
Most classes include a second live, instructor-led session that’s basically “exercise mode” — guided problem-solving with instructors who’ve done the work for real
If you’ve ever finished a class and thought, “Cool… but what do I DO with this?” — this fixes that. For more information, click the button just to the right ---->
Sometimes you need training that works around real schedules. We partner with TLC_TRNG to support self-paced learning you can knock out on your time, plus hybrid options when you want a live session to bring it to life.
Their content library covers a wide range of emergency management basics and common building blocks (including ICS and EM foundations), and it’s designed to help close the gap between having a plan and actually using it.
Bottom line: if your team needs consistent training across the organization (without fighting calendars), this is a strong option.
We also partner with Elevated Training and Consulting LLC, a nationally recognized group known for building confident incident personnel through:
ICS Training
IMT Development + Exercises
EOC Training + Exercises
Position Task Book Evaluation
This is where “all-hazards position-specific” training shines—because it’s not theory. It’s learning the role, making decisions under pressure, and getting better through realistic reps.
We support Elevated with delivery of FEMA-based curriculum and/or custom-built training and exercises tailored to your needs.
Yes—we can deliver FEMA courses too, including “G” courses, which are FEMA/EMI curriculum that’s delivered in the state/local environment (“State/Local/Tribal field-delivered courses”). And we can deliver these virtually or in person, depending on what works best for your team.
But here’s the important part:
We don’t treat FEMA curriculum like it’s sacred text that can’t be touched. We keep the learning objectives intact, and then we make it relatable:
We break content into bite-sized pieces
We use your plans, your policies, your decision points
We build in activities so people aren’t just listening—they’re practicing
You can still earn the certificate, but the class finally feels like it belongs to your organization
If you’re a company or organization that already delivers training—but you need additional qualified instructors—we can help.
We offer 1099 instructor support for:
Direct-to-client delivery
Subcontract delivery (your brand, your product, your customer)
In plain terms: if you need extra “bench strength” for a busy training season, we can step in and run lanes with you.
Not sure which one fits? That’s okay — just reach out and we’ll talk it through. And no need to be nervous, we aren't pushy. We don't like giving sales pitches as much as you hate getting them.
