2022 CERT Schedule

Kirkland OEM is committed to delivering CERT training to our community! However, we are even more committed to protecting out community and reducing the spread of COVID. Therefore, CERT training classes are on hold until we can safely deliver the lecture and hands on material to participants.

While we cannot provide full CERT classes, you may find these offerings of interest.
