Slide2Overview
Way back in 2005 (maybe earlier) a group of experienced communicators began a process called the “Communications Curriculum.”This effort was to create a series of modules for both communications leaders and for communicators for incidents.You have seen this project begin to bear fruit as CAP communicators have stepped up for major incidents and now for DOD assignments
Slide3Overview
The curriculum project involved many communicators over many years. The desire was to create a talented and skilled pool of communications leaders, managers, and operators.One of the first products was ICUT which replaced BCUT and ACUT
Slide4Modules
In the past three years, the NHQ communications training team has produced a number of “modules” on a variety of communications subjects. These modules are found in eServices, in the Learning Management System.Until now, these modules are for member education, they do not apply to any operations qualification for communicators.
Slide5All-Hazards
At this year’s NESA, a group of 16 CAP members participated in CAP’s very first CAP-taught and FEMA/DHS certified All-Hazards Communications Unit Leader (COML) course.This group was also the final evaluation group for two new SQTRs to replace the CUL and MRO operations qualifications.
Slide6COML and RADO
COML will replace CULRADO will replace MRO.In the next few months you will see an end to the ability to qualify for CUL or MRO specialties. These two specialties will, at some fixed date to be announced, expire out of the system over three years.
Slide7COML and RADO
There are three levels to COML and RADO. The basic level and intermediate level roughly equate to our current CUL and MRO specialties.The RADO+ and COML+ (plus) level will indicate that a member has completed both the CAP and the FEMA required tasks to be rated as a “Type 3 All-Hazards” COML or RADO.
Slide8Outcome
The desired outcome is a cadre of CAP communicators who have a demonstrated, and current, communications proficiency … and a trained and qualified to both CAP and DHS/OEC standards.And… that CAP’s Type 3 qualified COMLs and RADOs can function on local Incident Management Teams.
Slide9When?
Over the next 12 months the NHQ Communications Training Team will be finalizing both the SQTR tasks and a “task guide” for evaluators to use as each required task is approved.CAP NHQ/DOK will be working with NHQ/DO to finalize approval procedures such as who can approve these new qualifications..
