East Mountain Interagency Fire Protection Association

Train the Trainer CERT Class. This is the first step we must take to form an East Mountain CERT. It is about training individuals that are interested in being instructors for the CERT classes. It is for individuals that wish to perpetuate an East Mountain CERT. It is ONLY for individuals that are willing to give of their time and volunteer to train other citizens in CERT. For more information on CERT go to www.cabq.gov/emergency/community-emergency-response-team.
The class will be held April 12 through April 16, 2010 from 6:00pm to 9:00pm nightly and then Saturday, April 17 from 8:00am until 4:00pm. This will meet our requirement of 20 hours of classroom training and our final testing and graduation on Saturday. The classes will be held at the Tijeras City Hall on Old 66 in Tijeras.
You must submit your drivers license and link to background information through the website at cabq.gov/emergency. You should also have completed ICS 100 and ICS 700 OSHA training.
