The Burbank Fire Department conducts Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training to educate and prepare the public for potential emergencies.  Participants do NOT need to be a Burbank resident to take CERT training through the City of Burbank.  The training is taught in 8 modules over four Saturdays (non-consecutive).   Attendance at all 8 modules (all 4 days) is required to complete the class; however, if you miss any modules due to life’s hectic schedule, you can make up any missed modules in future Burbank CERT classes and still receive your certificate of completion.

There is a $50 partially refundable fee for the class.  This fee is a deposit and covers the expense of the CERT backpack (with starter equipment), Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and a CERT manual; all of which are yours to keep at the end of the class.  Upon successful completion of the Burbank CERT class, the graduate will eligible to receive a $25 partial refund of their fee.  For additional information regarding the partial refund or missing class dates, please see our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page.  https://www.burbankcert.org/frequently-asked-questions
