| What is Advanced CERT Training? |

Every CERT graduate is encouraged to take additional CERT training after they complete Basic CERT. In an effort to encourage additional training, the Spartanburg County CERT Team has created two additional levels of CERT training. These additional levels are Intermediate CERT and Advanced CERT. The criteria for both are noted below: Intermediate CERT
Advanced CERT
Please note that the criteria noted above is subject to change. However, for now, Intermediate and Advanced CERT training levels are based on the criteria noted above. |

The Teen Community Emergency Response Team (Teen CERT) Program educates students about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, Teen CERT members can assist others in their schools, neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help. Teen CERT members also are encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community.
Teen CERT works and should your school want to participate please contact: Robbie Swofford, CERT Coordinator Office of Emergency Management PO Box 5666 Spartanburg, SC 29304 (864) 595-5368 rswofford@spartanburgcounty.org
By 2008, Spartanburg CERT would like to be composed of 325 Basic CERT members oh which 80 are First Responders, 45 are Ham Radio Operators, and 70 are Teen CERTS. We hope, as we have the last two years, we can exceed our expectations. |
