Empowering individuals, businesses, schools and churches to respond to emergencies starts with teaching. We have learned a lot in the things we do and rather than trying to accomplish everything ourselves; Our goal is to provide YOU with the chance to know and respond in the same manner that we do.
Upon completion of our curriculum each participant is presented the opportunity to take an online test with the Department of Homeland Security. If the test is passed, the participant is then registered with the DoHS as an official CERT member within their community, work place or school.
