About the CEDP exam
First responders, emergency management, healthcare professionals, and others seeking Certified Emergency Disaster Preparedness training can benefit from online and in-person CEDP courses. Vantage Point Consulting is one of the only providers nationwide offering CEDP as an online course.
The concepts and general knowledge covered as part of the CEDP credential includes approximately 100-150 items, with about a quarter to a little over a third of the questions on emergency management, disaster preparedness, and safety and environmental hazards.
The International Board for Certification Services and Management (IBFCSM) has more details on the domain of each section. While VPC offers online CEDP courses, we do not proctor virtual exams. IBFCSM does, occasionally, offer the test online through their supported web platforms. VPC routinely provides periodic proctored exams throughout the year.
This practice exam is provided as-is for test preparation purposes only.

Tips for improving your score on the CEDP exam
General knowledge of emergency disaster methods, such as incident command processes, data management, governmental agencies and partners, the ability to glean information from a real or hypothetical situation, leadership principles, and more is the priority. Use the CEDP study guide (purchase required) to prepare and find detailed explanations.
- Make sure you have a complete understanding of basic skills related to command and organization structure, an understanding of FEMA and other government agency responses, and safety issues such as critical care access, food and water safety, HazMat, and and terrorism response.
- Reading comprehension is tested heavily. Read each question carefully and make sure you understand the topic and concept.
- Learning in the classroom often features discussions, Q&A, and student-instructor interaction. We find online courses can meet the same level of engagement, but only if students are prepared to actively engage. For your success and the preparation of others, come to online courses with your cameras on, distractions minimized, and ready to participate fully.
