IS-800.B National Response Framework, An Introduction

Technical Information

Although EMI strives to make its independent study courseware compatible with all major web browsers, some users have experienced difficulty taking IS-800.b with browsers other than Internet Explorer. We highly recommend that Internet Explorer be used to take this course. We plan to have a fix available soon.

Note: On February 4th, 2008, the Independent Study Program implemented the EMI course IS-800.B, National Response Framework, an Introduction.
