<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Office for Bombing Prevention (OBP) and the Center for Domestic Preparedness have partnered to provide bombing prevention awareness learning opportunities
for first responders, public safety personnel, and private sector partners through Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT). VILT courses provide basic bombing prevention information ranging from IED construction and classification to the terrorist attack cycle.
All </span><a href="https://cdp.dhs.gov/obp"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">online virtual training courses</span></a><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> are conducted with a live instructor, using the Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN) Connect feature.
Participants can connect either as a HSIN member or guest (does not require a HSIN membership). VILTs are great for participants with time constraints as most classes are approximately one-hour in length and can be taken independently.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Classes are open to anyone. For more information and to register for a course visit the
