NUARI, as a member of the National Cybersecurity Preparedness Consortium (NCPC), is a FEMA training provider.
A FEMA Student Identification (SID) number is necessary for registering and participating in any training offered by FEMA, as well as for the registration systems and enrollment processes of all FEMA training providers. The FEMA SID will serve as your unique identifier and be used to maintain the record of any FEMA training you attend. Obtaining and registering with FEMA’s Student Identification system is a one-time step, and the number can then be used to take training with FEMA or any FEMA training provider. Registering with a FEMA SID number ensures NUARI and the NCPC can continue to provide training at no cost, made available through congressionally designated funding awarded by FEMA’s U.S. Department of Homeland Security National Training and Education Division. For further information about the FEMA SID number, please see https://cdp.dhs.gov/FEMASID/#faq
