Frequently Asked Questions
How do I register for ICS training, where can I take ICS training?
ICS Canada does not provide training directly. Instead, our role focuses on developing curriculum and standards for training. Training is offered or coordinated by Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) and ICS Canada-recognized training providers. For information on available training opportunities, please contact the AHJs directly via the Member Agency page under the Training tab on the ICS Canada website.
Is ICS Canada training available online?
ICS Canada offers the ICS Canada I-100 course online at no cost to our member agencies, while non-members and the general public can access the training for a fee. All other ICS Canada courses are delivered by an instructor in the classroom or virtually. The Online I-100 course can be purchased for individuals or groups of 50 or more via this website. To find the purchase link, go to the “Training” tab and select “Online I-100 Training.”

An AHJ or Authority Having Jurisdiction is the organization, office, or individual having statutory responsibility for enforcing the requirements of a standard. Most provinces/territories have designated an AHJ as the responsible organization for ICS within their jurisdictional boundaries.

The AHJ or Lead Instructor is responsible for issuing initial and replacement certificates. Please contact the AHJ or the organization that hosted the course for replacement certificates.
