The Fall 2009 UGA CERT Class is now closed for registration. If you are interested in particpating in future UGA CERT programs, contact Pete Golden at pgolden@uga.edu.

This training allows the UGA CERT members the ability to assist in giving critical support to others in the event of a campus disaster.
