Community Emergency Response Team (CERT+) and Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM+) are the benchmark courses of GO-DRN. These preliminary advanced trainings equip volunteers with skills necessary to respond during times of crisis by being fully prepared to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs in time of distress. The essential knowledge gained by completing these courses can be used to help families, neighborhoods, churches and other groups seeking preparedness and restoration for their personal lives, business or communities.
CERT+ and CISM+ courses are offered to anyone. It is recommended, but not required to be a GO-DRN volunteer before registration. Please view How to Register if you are a non GO-DRN volunteer wishing to register for the courses listed below.
It is highly recommended (but not required) that volunteers desiring to complete advanced training start with either CERT or CISM training.
