In total 9 hours (34%) of their FREE online three courses and 18 hours (67%) of FEMA IS courses that I had already completed.
I paid on one day. I then took the three online courses. I then submitted for both levels in two different online applications and all within one week. I received the Disaster Information Specialist, Basic Level I (Certificate) in less than a month. They only do them at the end of the month I am told.
