Desperately need IFSAC Hazmat Tech class

[chtucker]

I have been unable to locate an 80hr Hazmat Technician class that meets IFSAC and that would be transferable to Colorado till next January.

I am willing to travel anywhere to get it...I already have operations...

Any leads?

Other modules covered will include site assessment, personal protective equipment, leak control and containment, air monitoring equipment, vapor suppression, and the incident command system.
Classroom time and field work are carefully balanced to maximize the learning experience. Successful completion of the course will depend on academic measurements, performance checks and field response evaluations.
