The CERT Program is designed to train residents to assist safety personnel and City staff in the event of a major disaster. Volunteers from the community are trained in first aid, light search and rescue, minor fire suppression, and other skills that are critical in the first few hours of disaster.
Qualifications
To take the Culver City CERT class you must:
- Live or work within Culver City
- Be at least 16 years old or older
There are two parts to CERT training, first is a 12-hour online course provided by the University of Utah, and second, is a ~16 hour in-person "hands-on" skills practical training at the Culver City Fire Department drill yard.
The online course is fully self-paced and can be conducted at any time. The in-person classes are conducted twice a year, once in the Spring, and once in the Fall.
