No-cost CERT training
No need to travel to Maryland for these classes. The SLO Regional CERT has convinced the program to come hold a class here. Don’t miss out!
This advanced training event will take place the last week of November at Camp San Luis and is open to anyone who would like to help with the administration of their local CERT team (take the Program Manager course) or for someone who has already taken the CERT basic training course and would like to train others (take the Train-the-Trainer course). It is highly recommended that you take both courses if you plan to provide training.
