Class Schedule
CERT San Diego academies offer a 6 week/26 hour curriculum and certification. A flexible schedule allows students to attend Thursday nights or Saturday mornings. CERT graduates wear distinctive green vests and hats and carry ID cards identifying their certification to authorities. The program also offers Business Emergency Response Team (BERT) classes and community team building and emergency equipment preparation.
The interactive training process involves both classroom and practical activities. Students attend weekly 4-hour classes on the following subjects: Disaster Preparedness, Fire Safety, Disaster Medical Operations, Search and Rescue, CERT Organization, Incident Command System, Disaster Psychology, and Terrorism. The final class is a disaster drill in which all students participate in a demonstration of their newly acquired skills.
