The ADD MODULE TO CART is a new feature for 2012. Select and download training modules for a customized program to better align with your target audience. The Module Toolbox provides categories with related topics made up of new and old modules.
Each module download includes a video, Student Workbook and Facilitator Guide.

As you select modules to download, a Download Cart will appear in the bottom right on your browser. The Download Cart allows you to view your training package selection and add or delete modules. Total Download Size and Estimated Download Times are provided as a reference. When you are finished with your training package selection, select the Download button. The Download Cart will view 'Processing' until the download is complete. A File Download box will then appear with a zipped file titled 'nifc_download.zip.' This zipped file contains your module files. Download and save. The Download Cart will then give you the option to empty your cart.
Note: Modules are large in size due to video files and may take time to download, so plan ahead in your refresher preparation.
