excellent questions with excellent information. Outcome PASS the test. Some material needs discussion or evaluation based on your experiences.

dc_ema 2018-12-07 12:58:31

I felt this course has definitely given me a better understanding, from an Emergency Management perspective, of how information is gathered and passed on weather occurences and how I can access and use that information to be better prepared.

Excellent test of understanding of the information

Neema Camara 2018-03-11 20:01:38

The material and language used is simple and easy to follow

jpfak.hotmail.fr 2018-03-10 14:41:03

C'est une belle leçon qui te fait apprendre de nouvelles choses. Le seul bémol que je mets est sa durée. Surtout que l'anglais n'est pas ma première langue, elle m'a pris du temps. Ma proposition est de la séparer pour en faire deux leçons de 4 et 5 heures par exemple. Ce serait plus facile de l'apprendre ainsi je pense. Merci.

RLBEMA824EMT 2018-02-19 15:13:16

I feel like I can now be the neighborhood watch dog for weather.

Based on my experience, I believe this training is a little too detail oriented for first responders. I do appreciate the opportunity to review it for future use in my career.

I have never learned so much valuable material in Meteorology. I am a lay person, who has a vested interest in severe weather. I found out about this course through SKYWARN Forum and so glad I took it.

AlphaWolf 2017-01-18 13:14:58

very good and educational. perfect for weather enthusiasts and the public alike it was challenging but it makes you think and can prepare you for any hazardous weather that may come your way.
