The former Amateur Radio Emergency Communications (AREC) series of three 
training courses has been reconfigured into two courses: An introductory 
course and a course for leaders and managers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Introduction to Emergency Communication *(#EC-001)

Revised in 2011, this is an update of the former Level 1 course. It is 
designed to provide basic knowledge and tools for hams who want to serve 
as a Public Service volunteer. It provides an opportunity for non-hams 
who rely on communications in emergency situations to learn about 
Amateur Radio and its unique role in emergencies.

The course is offered online using the Moodle learning platform. The 
/Introduction to Emergency Communication/ course has six sections with 
29 lesson topics and a 35 question final assessment. Participants should 
plan on completing the course in approximately 45 hours over a nine week 
period. This is a mentored course, in which you may work according to 
your own schedule. Cost is $50 for ARRL members and $85 for non-members.
