The AEM®/CEM® Prep Course was designed in partnership with the International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM). This course is meant for emergency management professionals seeking the AEM or CEM credential. The course walks learners through the application process for both credentials. Primarily, the course reviews key terms and concepts that may appear on the AEM/CEM exam. Learners can check their understanding throughout the course with interactive games, review checkpoints, and exams. Certified Emergency Managers provide expert commentary, using their knowledge and experience to guide learners through the course. Plus, learners can gauge their exam readiness with two full-length practice exams, which mirror the real AEM/CEM exam.
