    AIMCS Initial Certification and/or Recognition of Prior Learning Application Instruction Overview

    All applications must be submitted as directed to be considered for review. One application packet will need to be submitted for each position that you are applying for Certification or Recognition of Prior Learning. 


    Choose your application category


    AIMCS offers two categories for applicants.

    1. New Position, Trainee
      Choose this category if you are entering a position for the first time. This pathway fits applicants completing a Position Task Book (PTB) with minimal or no prior experience in the position.
    2. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
      Choose this category if you already qualified in the position under another recognized system, such as NWCG, CICCS, or a state or local qualification program. RPL recognizes documented experience while still requiring IMTA verification against AIMCS requirements.


    Choose your certification track

    Under either category, select one track.

    1. Basic Track
      The Basic track follows the Association’s Interstate Incident Management Teams Qualification System. It aligns with NIMS NQS minimum standards for qualifications and documentation.
    2. Advanced Track
      The Advanced track exceeds NQS minimum standards through additional training expectations in incident management, leadership, and all-hazards coursework. This track targets applicants and jurisdictions seeking a higher, more rigorous benchmark with additional training in incident management, all-hazards, and in leadership.
