AFFORDABLE, NEEDS-BASED TRAINING
Live Programs | Quick Access Learning Programs | Past Offerings

The type and number of programs we offer varies year to year based on information collected from several sources and available funding. Although the Center’s audiences have traditionally been health care, public health and first responders, as preparedness needs change and the disaster scenarios we face evolve, our programs and other offerings also evolve. We offer continuing education credits for most of our programs, thus providing an added value to the busy professionals we serve.

The following matrix lists our current training opportunities. While everyone is welcome at any of these sessions, the matrix also indicates groups for whom the training is most appropriate.
