The Employment Training Panel (ETP) provides funding to employers to assist in upgrading the skills of their workers through training that leads to good paying, long-term jobs. The ETP was created in 1982 by the California State Legislature and is funded by California employers through a special payroll tax. The ETP is a funding agency, not a training agency. Businesses determine their own training needs and how to provide training.   See below for action steps to qualify your business for up to 100% reimbursement.


Professionally, you may be close to reaching your first anniversary with the new Council-Certified credentials from ACAC.org.  Be mindful of your continuing education requirements of 20-units.   Since it is a perishable skill, retaking the course does qualify.   
FOCUS for December - Incident Command System (ICS); #B1
For online course graduates we encourage one module retake per month.  This one is Module 1 Incident Command System ICS.   MODULE 1 - ICS.

The Incident Command System is the basis of managing any situation large or small.   We introduce the FEMA Form 214 which is also used by First Responders almost universally.   The ICS system immediately establishes chain of command, and authority.

IMPORTANT: Every single employee taking the course has the ability to bring it home to family at no cost whatsoever (English or Spanish)

Any BERT module retake DOES qualify for CE Units if you have ACAC Credentials.

For businesses we are designed to communicate the real-time status of any emergency, assist in medical situations, lock down a facility, locate potential missing persons, document the incident for reimbursement, and assist in the return to normal operations as quickly as possible.  

Further, with the TitanHST app it can be used as a company-wide instant communications system for any reason.

BERT is a stand-alone or post- CERT education and communications program that uses  EMERGALINKā„¢  to connect multiple facilities together.

It trains individual employees to care for themselves and others quickly and safely until professional first responders arrive.

Is your emergency plan and instant access to every employee in your hand?
