=='''Qualifications & VSFs'''==
Qualifications are directly related to the 16 Volunteer Support Functions (VSFs). VSFs are categories into which NETs' skills and training are classified for the purpose of identifying cadres of volunteers suitable for specific deployments. In addition to streamlining emergency ops, VSFs also guide the trainings we offer, and support your natural path to skill specialization(s). No one can be an expert at everything!
