About Basic CERT Training
CERT’S FREE BASIC TRAINING MUST BE A CUMULATIVE MINIMUM 20-HOUR TRAINING COURSE. WE SCHEDULE MORE HOURS THAN NECESSARY EACH DAY TO ALLOW FOR PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS, DISCUSSIONS, QUESTIONS, AND MORE.
CERT CLASSES ARE COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE AND YOU DO NOT NEED TO BRING ANYTHING TO CLASS WITH YOU. IF YOU REGISTER AT DEPLOYMENT LEVEL 2 OR ABOVE, YOU WILL BE PROVIDED WITH A CERT PACK AND/OR CERT PPE AT THE CONCLUSION OF YOUR TRAINING! WE ALSO ASK YOU TO COMPLETE SELECT, FREE, ONLINE FEMA INDEPENDENT STUDY COURSES DEPENDING ON THE LEVEL OF ACTIVITY YOU WISH TO PURSUE WITH THE GROUP.

Teen CERT Training
Right now, we are accepting applications for teens (whose parents are also CERT certified or are planning on taking the basic 20-hour training course) who are interested in assisting, training, and volunteering with our CC MO CERT group in non-responder activities, such as public events, appearances, outreach to schools, etc. Teen CERTs are required to pass the FREE FEMA Independent Study Courses IS-100, IS-200, IS-700, and IS-800, along with the same basic 20-hour training course which the adults complete.
If you or someone you know may be interested in our Teen CERT program, send an email with your contact information and request to CERT Coordinator Tim George at cbrntg1@gmail.com and we will get in touch with you to discuss this great opportunity!
