One is working through hosting a virtual tech session/vendor expo conference in August, and the second is exploring the many facets needed to provide quality online certification in all of the IMSA disciplines.

Stay tuned for more news as it develops around the IMSA of tomorrow. We are committed to our mission of providing quality certification programs for the safe installation, operation and maintenance of public safety systems; delivering value for members by providing the latest information and education in the industry.
