Preparedness requires education and training 

DEMA manages, develops and implements courses and training in emergency management and leadership for leaders and employees in the national rescue service and the Danish local fire and rescue services.

DEMA offers customised courses within emergency management, national rescue service and international emergency operations.

DEMA Emergency Services College

DEMA Emergency Services College in Tinglev in the southern part of Jutland provides operational and tactical training courses for present and future leaders of the Danish fire and rescue authorities and also personnel from the police and medical sector. All present and future fire and rescue leaders in Denmark pass through the Emergency Services College.

In cooperation with the Police Commissioner, the college trains and authorises students from Fire and Rescue Services as well as the local police and the medical sector to act as Response Commanders in day-to-day emergencies.

DEMA Staff College

Furthermore, DEMA runs a Staff College in Snekkersten in the northern part of Zealand.

The main task of the DEMA Staff College is to manage the development and implementation of education in preparedness and leadership for leaders and employees from the Danish Emergency Management Agency and from the municipal fire and rescue services. Also, the College is an excellent location for meetings and seminars.
