Course 2 - Crisis Response Training

CRI Academy is the online extension of Crisis Response International’s disaster relief and crisis response training and certification program. Our vision is to train and mobilize people just like you to crisis situations around the world to bring God's love and mercy where it's most needed.

Course 2 is designed to add to the basic knowledge, values and skills learned in Course 1. It includes topics such as disaster chaplaincy skills, forgiveness, psychological first-aid, refugees, PTSD, compassion fatigue, H.O.P.E. (House of Prayer and Encounter) and much more. Most of all, you will learn how to meet the urgent practical needs through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Regardless of, if or how often, you deploy with CRI, this online Academy will help you be much better equipped to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of people in the midst of crisis and disaster anywhere you are.

CRI Academy online courses are designed for individual use only. For information about video seminars for churches or use of CRI Academy for a small group please email [email protected].

How it works

Participation in this course requires watching videos, taking notes and completing questions to advance forward. You will need to complete all videos and answer all questions throughout each chapter. To proceed from one chapter to the next, click on the green button in the bottom right corner. Not every video has corresponding questions, but most do. You’ll need to correctly answer 80% of the questions to earn a passing grade. If you answer a question incorrectly, just continue by clicking the green NEXT button and you will have an opportunity to re-answer the question at the end of the quiz if needed. When you see the green check mark next to the corresponding chapter in your navigation menu (located on the left-hand side of the screen), you’ll know you’ve completed it successfully.

The course takes about 16 hours to complete; however, you can work through the course at your own pace!
