TIEMS OVERALL EDUCATION, TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION GOALS

TIEMS INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATION - TQC^TM

The core in TIEMS Education initiative is TIEMS International Certification – TQC, which certifies Qualifications in International Emergency and Disaster Management.

TQC^TM for WHOM? TQC^TM OBJECTIVES

BENEFITS OF TQC^TM CERTIFICATION

Major natural and man-made disasters often extend beyond the borders of a single country. A country hit by a disaster can launch an appeal to the international community for help when it is unable to properly handle the consequences. TQC can act as the facilitator element in the cooperation's efforts between countries and organizations through the use of a common language and a common knowledge and understanding. Cooperation is also essential to prevention, and the exchange of good practices in prevention and preparedness is the backbone of such cooperation.

TQC COMPETENCE FOCUS

The scope of International Emergency and Disaster Management (IEDM) is as wide as the globe is round. TIEMS encourages TQC candidates to gain exposure to the many aspects that comprise the field. For the TQC certification process, TIEMS has focused on seven competence areas in international emergency and disaster management as shown in the figure below.

TQC Competence Focus ver1

This TQC Competence Focus was informed by a TIEMS survey, which asked international emergency management and disaster response community experts to give their opinion on the content and structure of TQC Certification. The report with the conclusions of this survey is found at the following link: TQC Survey Findings

TIEMS ACADEMY AND TQC LEARNING MATERIAL

TQC Applicants may acquire required Competencies anywhere they wish – past coursework or experience, independent study, or they may take on-line or in-person courses. As time goes by, TIEMS Academy will be providing access to an increasing number of courses relevant to TQC Competencies. TIEMS Academy will guide the TQC Certification Candidates to relevant teaching material for their preparation for the TQC Certification.

TQC CANDIDATE CERTIFICATION GUIDE

The TQC Candidate Certification Guide, will be available for the TQC Candidates, when they are logged into the TQC Web Platform. It provides the requirements and steps the Candidate has to go through on his/her way to TQC Certification, and include a wide range of references, together with a list of acronyms, covering many aspects of IEDM. Although the TQC exam will not cover all this material, it will help the candidate broaden their knowledge and better understand the exam topics. They also find references to the seven TQC Competence Areas, which the TQC Candidate needs to demonstrate knowledge in.
