What is the HSEEP Training Course?
The HSEEP Training Course is an intermediate-level training course
that incorporates exercise guidance and best practices from the
HSEEP Volumes. Throughout the course, participants will learn
about topics including exercise program management, design and
development, conduct, evaluation, and improvement planning.
The HSEEP Training Course is an interactive course that allows
participants to share personal lessons learned and best practices
while gaining practical experience. In addition to the instructor-led
course presentations, the course includes small group activities,
videos, and group discussions. The course also provides overviews
of HSEEP-related initiatives such as technology (e.g., the HSEEP
Toolkit) and capabilities-based planning (e.g., Target Capabilities
List [TCL]). This blended approach will give participants hands-on
experience that readily translates to real-world exercise skills.
Activities include creating exercise documentation, conducting
exercise planning conferences and briefings, and practicing exercise
evaluation.
The course has been developed by the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) using input from Federal partners, subject matter
experts (SMEs), and State and local representatives.
