New CERT Classes Coming Soon!

The series of CERT classes will be coming to the Sherman Oaks Galleria, with other classes available around LA for make-up sessions!

Why Take CERT Classes?

1. Be Prepared for Emergencies
In a major disaster—earthquake, wildfire, flood, or otherwise—first responders may be overwhelmed. CERT training empowers everyday residents to act effectively for themselves, family, and their communities until professional help arrives.

2. Gain Hands-On, Practical Skills
Rather than theoretical learning, the curriculum covers real-world techniques, including deploying fire extinguishers, performing triage, caring for injuries like burns or sprains, and conducting victim removal using safe rescue methods.

3. Connect with Neighbors and Build Community Resilience
Training fosters camaraderie and local cohesion. As one CERT volunteer put it, the program enabled teamwork across diverse individuals and "shared experiences of serving the community"—a rewarding and fun way to contribute locally.

4. Flexible, No-Obligation Program
CERT training is offered at no cost, with no obligation to sign up for active duty during disasters. Completion simply earns you certification and the peace of mind of knowing you’re better prepared
