What This Certification Does - and Doesn’t - Do
TEAM Solutions gets you about 75% of the way to mission-ready with nationally aligned, reality-based online training.
It equips you with the core knowledge and mindset SAR agencies expect - before live field evaluations or in-person task books.
Important: This certification does not authorize deployment. Actual mission approval is always determined by your SAR team or AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction).
What You Get
TEAM Solutions training is built by experienced instructors - including developers and instructors of FEMA’s Wide Area Search course, Canine Search Specialist, and Technical Search Specialist. The courses reflect FEMA’s NIMS framework, ICS doctrine, and operational best practices adopted across SAR disciplines.
“Built for responders. Grounded in reality. Consistent with national standards.”
NOTE: Completing these courses do not authorize you to deploy or operate in the field. Mission-ready status is determined by your team, evaluator, or authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
