CERT Instructor workshops in Lawton, December 2009
OKOHS is pleased to announce a series of workshops designed specifically for current Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Instructors in the state of Oklahoma. The workshops supplement the initial instructor training program and will provide updates on program changes as well as increased support for local deliveries. This is an opportunity you won't want to miss if you are planning to instruct CERT in your community. Through interactive presentations and hands-on sessions, participants will have an opportunity to use new props and skill delivery tools.
OKOHS' goal is to arm instructors with the knowledge, experience and professional tools to boost their scope of achievement in the CERT program.
Keep in mind:
- These workshops are for existing CERT Instructors only
- The workshop is provided at no charge to the participant
- CERT Instructors should attend just one of the three workshops
- You will need to bring documentation from your CERT Train-the-Trainer course (such as a certificate) to participate in the workshop
- OKOHS will not pay per diem, mileage or hotel for workshop participants
