CERT Basic Training Participant Manual in Braille and Screen Reader Versions

The National CERT Program  promotes CERT training for all audiences.  In addition to the recent release of the low vision and Spanish versions of the CERT Basic Training Participant Manual, CERT announces the release of the Participant Manual in Braille and PDF screen reader versions.  Each version includes the same content as the standard version Participant Manual—the nine units of the course and 13 hazard annexes.

 

Please access the screen reader version of the Participant Manual on the national CERT website, .https://www.citizencorps.gov/cert/training_mat.shtm#screenreader
