TIEMS has established a certification program in International Emergency Management. Two certifications are available:

TQC (TIEMS Qualification Certification in International Emergency and Disaster Management) – for Emergency Management Professionals who have at least 3 years’ experience as a first responder, volunteer, educator, leader, or other activity, practical or academic, directly involved with emergency/disaster management

TQAC (TIEMS “Associate” Qualification Certification) – for Emergency Management Professionals with less than three years’ experience.

As a complement to local or national Emergency Management certifications, a TQC or TQAC Certification allows a candidate to demonstrate the knowledge and competence required to make valuable contributions to International Emergency Management activities.

Competence in International Emergency Management is increasingly important as a growing number of disasters and emergencies extend beyond the borders of a single country. TQC and TQAC certified professionals are better equipped to collaborate in international teams and employ best practices from around the world.
