If inclement weather conditions or unforeseen emergencies ultimately require cancellation of classes, their status will be designated as cancelled in the table below. In addition, students will be notified via the email contact provided at the time of registration to alert them of any changes in class status. We encourage students to check this website periodically for training updates. Students who are ill or known to be contagious at the time of class are asked to reschedule their attendance for a later date. Students who have significant health or safety concerns should understand the assumption of risks inherent to public gatherings prior to attending.

Our goal is to offer at least one online Recertification class each month. Online classes will delivered using Microsoft Teams and will require students to have access to devices equipped with a webcam and Google Chrome or other compatible browser.
