FEMA’s Emergency Management Institute (EMI) will host two in-person CERT training sessions at the National Emergency Training Center (NETC) in 2025. During each week-long training session, the Agency will offer the CERT Program Manager (E0427) and CERT Train-The-Trainer (E0428) courses back-to-back. All participants must take both classes when attending the NETC.

The CERT Program Manager Course prepares students to establish and sustain an active local CERT Program. Students will learn how to build a plan for delivering and managing safe training and exercises, develop a process for evaluating a local CERT Program and establish processes for working with volunteers and instructors.

The CERT Train-the-Trainer prepares students to deliver CERT Basic Training. In addition to learning how to communicate the core values of CERT, students learn how to create a comfortable yet managed learning environment.

These in-person courses will be offered on the following dates:

  • March 31 - April 4, 2025
  • Aug. 4 - 8, 2025
