FMI does not seek comments related to the quality of the courses, which is gathered from the federal agencies who identify the courses as a priority and end-user comments Comments should only relate to the alignment of the training resource within the FBPTA core competencies. FMI will log and respond to all comments which might materially change our review, such as information that is new or contradicts information provided by the resource provider. Note that in many cases, partial alignment of a performance will be interpreted as sufficient for specific personnel. Initial proposals for the courses were provided by course providers. FMI only reviews the competencies and related performances in which the providers sought credit. FMI’s assessment of the proposed credit sought is located in the column titled “Based on technical review of learning objectives and skills, does this resource map to the performance criteria?”.
