VDEM’s new Campus/Teen CERT Train the Trainer one day course is designed to provide CERT trained instructors with the tools necessary to present the Campus and Teen CERT curriculum. It is a seminar that does NOT cover the entire Campus or Teen Train the Trainer courses (as both of those courses cover program management, development and evaluation).

To register for this class, you must be a CERT instructor in a Virginia CERT program (see CERT TTT requirements). This is not intended to be taken immediately upon completion of the basic CERT TTT class (however, exceptions can be made on a case by case basis).
