Impressive resume indeed. My problem would be remembering all that. A good way would be to work as an instructor. Otherwise, use it or forget it.

[Mall Director]

No kidding.. I cant even remember my EMSHA training stuff.. But good job with the certs.

[inman]

I am the senior instructor for my company, whose region covers 15 states. I am going to be traveling in the future to train around our region.

[Mall Director]

I just had some of my staff test out on ICS 100, and the electronic answer sheet for online had slots for 50 answers. The exam (printed out) had only 25.. Did I miss something, or did they change their form?
