Description
BDA/CERT Train-The-Trainer (TTT) is the course required for anyone that wants to become certified as a CERT Instructor and teach the Basic Disaster Academy/CERT curriculum. The course is typically delivered over three days and contains topics such as course delivery, teaching skills, and preparation. Students must attend the entire course in order to receive certification. After successful completion of the course, students become CERT Instructors and are able to teach the TTT course at their home CERT program. TSI Maintains a cadre of Master Instructors capable of delivering the CERT TTT course. Please Note: This course by default covers the upgraded BDA/CERT curriculum, we also have the capability to offer it in it’s original format focusing solely on the FEMA CERT curriculum.

- Assures that participants achieve the objectives of the CERT Basic Training course.
- Delivers training effectively and at an appropriate level, thus enabling participants to learn and correctly apply skill sets.

Target Audience
The target audience for this course includes the following:
- People who will serve as the course manager for the CERT Basic Training course. This course manager would have the authority to designate instructors to teach selected units.
- People who will be CERT Basic Training course instructors in any capacity. Note: Individuals who conduct only one or two of the units may do so without taking the CERT T-T-T course. However, the CERT T-T-T course would give them a necessary overview of the CERT Basic Training course as well as improve their instructional skills.
