COVID-19 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING TRANING CENTER SUSPENSION OF COURSES
Hunterdon County Emergency Services Training Center Courses Suspension Update
The rapidly evolving COVID-19 situation is disconcerting to many of us, especially with the magnitude of unknowns. The Hunterdon County Emergency Services Training Center has been working diligently to monitor and adjust as necessary, not only out of concern for the health and safety of our community, but with a commitment to our first responders and our ability to support students’ academic success.
We acknowledge that prematurely opening to conduct in-person instruction can still put our responders at risk. At this time, we have decided to cancel all in-person classes through July 1, 2020. Our virtual courses will continue; they are NOT canceled during this period. We will also be expanding our virtual course opportunities in the month June to offer a wider selection of courses. This decision was made with an abundance of caution and after significant deliberation various county departments, other Tier 1 Academies, and the State of New Jersey.
We will keep our stakeholders updated as this situation is continueously changing. Please stay well and look after your loved ones during this time.
