How to attend a make-up CERT class for credit
Oftentimes, it's not possible to attend every session with your primary class and CERT instructor. As there are ongoing CERT classes held throughout the County, it's important to make efforts to complete your training by attending makeup classes.
This easy procedure should be followed when attending another CERT class to makeup hours for credit towards graduation - especially when it will be with a different instructor.
1. Locate another class - ask your current instructor for suggestions or go to County CERT Web-site at: http://fire.countyofventura.org/Community/CERT/CERTClassSchedule/tabid/98/Default.aspx
2. Contact makeup class instructor and confirm OK to attend -- this is not a requirement, but a good suggestion, so they know you're attending.
3. Print out this makeup form and take with you to class - http://fire.countyofventura.org/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=jZ%2flB39dHW0%3d&tabid=98
4. Introduce yourself upon arrival at class.
5. Ensure you have makeup instructor fill out bottom of form
6. Return makeup form to your primary CERT instructor to be processed for credit
