If you are trying to get on with a place that places value in emergency management training and skills, I'd say yes. Otherwise, this is really for people who are established and would like a low-impact credential to broaden their demonstrated knowledge.
I take the opposite tack on the college degree.
There are many jobs that require at least 60 hours of college education as the first round scrub. So, yes, for me, getting a degree is going to open doors that were otherwise closed to me, even with a track history of employment and a *ton* of vocational training in my field.
