 organizations, today announced an accelerated plan to develop an online version of their popular certification program for professionals working in a field related to homeland security. The course, originally scheduled as a six month development project, will now be completed in three months, due to increased development resources being made available for this project.

Today's reality is that qualified professionals, working in a field related to homeland security, with a variety of specializations are highly sought after by both government agencies and private industry. This growing demand for highly trained individuals led ACFEI to create the Certification in Homeland Security program. With a Certification Board made up of our country's foremost Homeland Security experts, and five different levels of certification, VCampus and ACFEI believe it is fast becoming an extremely prized credential.

The first three levels of certification require an increasing level of professional accomplishment and formal education. A rigorous evaluation process, overseen by a board comprised of 27 outstanding experts in Homeland Security, independently evaluates and determines the earned level of certification. It is only after each successive level has been reached, that candidates can be considered for the most senior levels of certification, CHS (Cylinder Head Sector) An earlier method of addressing a hard disk by referencing all three physical elements of the drive. It was superseded by logical block addressing (see LBA).  Level IV and CHS Level V, which require additional training and testing. It is these two most advanced programs that are being developed as online programs.

Level IV, Incident Command Management and Terrorism, focuses on the importance of incident management and its challenges as well as an in-depth analysis and review of the domestic and international terrorist groups that may pose a threat.
