Prerequisites

L0273 Registration Instructions
FEMA requires online registration for this course. The process requires registering for a FEMA Student Identification (SID) Number, or using your FEMA SID number. Directions for both getting a new SID and looking up your SID can be found below. The FEMA SID will also allow you to receive a certificate of completion for the L0273 course from FEMA. Once approved for the course, you will receive a follow up email with more course information and suggested pre-course study. 

1. To begin registration, click on this link, the NETC Online Admissions Application: https://training.fema.gov/generaladmissionsapplication/staticforms/startapplication.aspx. You will need to use a desktop computer, because the site is not compatible with mobile devices. You will need to enter the Invitation Code for this course: JW6LA

2. Throughout the application process, it will ask you for contact information such as address, phone numbers, email, and information about your current job, work experience, etc. Please be prepared to move through these questions – if you sit on one page too long, it will time out and you’ll have to start again.

3. At the page where it asks for attachments – you do not need to upload any attachments.

4. At the page where it asks for Application Endorsements – you will provide the information seen here. This allows the POC to approve the registration, keep track of registrations, and send follow up emails. Do NOT enter your own boss’ information.
