TEI/TO serves the Nation's first responder community, offering more than 100 courses to help build skills that responders need to function effectively in mass consequence events. TEI/TO primarily serves State, local, and tribal entities in 10 professional disciplines, but has expanded to serve private sector and citizens in recognition of their critical role in domestic preparedness. Instruction is offered at the awareness, performance, and management and planning levels. Students attend TEI/TO courses with the basic skills of their profession and learn how to apply them in the context of disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. Course subjects range from weapons of mass destruction (WMD) terrorism, cybersecurity, and agro-terrorism to citizen preparedness. Courses are web based and instructor led and are offered in residence (i.e., at a training facility) or through mobile programs in which courses are brought to locations that request them. TEI/TO is one of a number of training components located in the NIC. It is the new name given to the former Office of Grants and Training (G&T) Training Division under the reorganization directed in the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act (the Act). On April 1, 2007, components from the DHS Preparedness Directorate, including training programs within G&T, merged with FEMA as directed by the Act. This consolidation formed the new NPD within FEMA?. Legacy training organizations from the Preparedness Directorate were consolidated under the umbrella of the newly created NIC, along with existing FEMA training components such as the Emergency Management Institute (EMI). The mission of TEI remains largely the same as it was under the G&T, that is, to make high-quality training available to the first responder community, tailored to enhance the capacity of states and local jurisdictions to prepare for, prevent, deter, and respond and recover safely and effectively from potential manmade and natural catastrophic events, including terrorism. TEI/TO has undergone several name changes since it was organized in 1998 as the Office for Domestic Preparedness (ODP) under the Department of Justice.
