Training
CERT Basic Training Course September-October 2026
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Basic Training Course teaches people how to help themselves, their families, and their neighbors during a disaster. Professional responders cannot always arrive immediately. This course gives you the skills to act safely and effectively. Mature minors age 12-17 are welcome with a parent, guardian or Scout Leader.
The fall 2026 Morgan Hill/Gilroy course uses a hybrid format. The first eight units occur online by Zoom. One skills day occurs in person.
Zoom Sessions Each session lasts from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM. REGISTER HERE
