Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Training Spring 2023
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) class is being offered at various campuses of St. Louis Community College starting early February. The attached flyer provides course details.
To sign-up, each participant will need to register and pay the one-time college assessed administrative fee of nine dollars. If there are time conflicts or limitations, inform the instructor and/or the Continuing Education office. St. Louis County Emergency Management also posted course information on Nextdoor.
Residents and community leaders must be prepared to respond to emergencies. There is no guarantee as to when the professionals will arrive, "We are the first ones on scene."
Please share the CERT training opportunity with others within and outside your community.
Be Prepared and Stay Safe!

Community Emergency Response Team Training (CERT) Have you ever thought “What would I do if a tornado struck my subdivision?” or “What types of natural disasters can happen in St. Louis?” We have the answers. Community Emergency Response Team Training (CERT) is a series of classes that prepares you to help your community in the event of a crisis. Through lecture and hands-on activities, professional emergency responders will teach you about emergency and disaster preparedness, while you receive training in basic response skills such as fire safety, team organization, light search and rescue, and medical operations.
Training will conclude with a full-scale disaster exercise in a tornado simulation (off-site), Saturday, April 15. Upon successful completion of the training, you will be able to join a local St. Louis Area CERT program to continue to support and help where volunteers are needed.
Participants must be 18 years of age or older. While no course fee is associated with this offering, a small STLCC administrative fee is required for registration.
