CERT: Trainers and Coordinators

 

Information and Tools for CERT Trainers and Coordinators

 

CERT Classes can be sponsored by various agencies and organizations but it is recommended that the class be instructed by trained professionals such as fire and rescue instructors, paramedics, EMTs, nurses, EMDs, police, etc. See "Instructor Qualifications" for more information. Course managers and instructors must take the CERT Train-the-Trainer Course before offering to participants. Review the other CERT web pages for additional support on starting and maintaining a CERT program.

 

When CERT members successfully complete the full 20 hour CERT Course they should receive recognition for their participation; this can be in the form of a completion certificate. Other items that could be issued to those who choose to volunteer beyond the training include ID cards, t-shirts, pins, patches, vests, safety helmets and other personal protective equipment.
