Course Description

The HSEEP Training Course is an intermediate-Level training course that incorporates exercise guidance and best practices from HSEEP Volumes. Throughout the course, participants will learn about topics including exercise program management, design and development, conduct, evaluation and improvement planning. The HSEEP training Course is an interactive course that allows participants to share personal lessons learned and best practices while gaining practical experience. In addition to the Instructor-led course presentations, the course includes small group activities, videos, and group discussions. The course also provides overviews of HSEEP-related initiatives such as technology and capabilities-based planning (e.g. Target Capabilities List [TCL]). This blended approach will give participants hands on experience that readily translates to real world exercise skills. Activities include creating exercise documentation, conducting exercise planning conferences and briefings and practicing exercise evaluation.  Class will start promptly at 9:00a.m. EST until 5:00p.m. EST each day.
