Disaster response personnel, law enforcement personnel as well as other first responders will definitely benefit from the multitude of courses available at the North Carolina Center for Public Health Preparedness Training Web Site.

All NCCPHP Training courses are offered for continuing education credits (CEUs), which further make these professional courses very much worth the effort. Courses available free of charge include public health preparedness topics such as disease surveillance, basic epidemiology, bio-terrorism and new/emerging disease agents.
All courses are very well structured, easy to follow and come with simple self-assessment tests after reviewing the multi-media tutorials and pdf transcripts. Following successful completion of the tutorials and tests, a neat certificate of completion may be printed out.
Below is a list of topics of free online trainings available from The North Carolina Center for Public Health Preparedness. Each topic includes a number of different courses that can be accessed directly.
I have so far completed 4 of these courses and planning to finish all available by the end of the year.
