This course format documents 72 total hours and 72 in-person hours. WMEC lists a minimum of 70 total hours and 45 in-person hours for WFR. MTN automatically accepts this documented WFR or WFR recertification format for reciprocity. Students using it for WFR recertification still provide their prior WFR credential when registering. A WFA certificate alone does not establish prior WFR certification.
Except for the NOLS formats covered by MTN’s confirmed two-way agreement, MTN accepting another provider’s training does not establish that provider’s acceptance of MTN training. Confirm directly with the receiving organization. Course reciprocity and instructor authorization are separate.

WFR · In person
MTN confirms automatic reciprocity in both directions with NOLS for standard and hybrid WFR and in-person WFR recertification. Students must still meet the receiving program’s credential-currency and eligibility requirements. This statement does not extend to online or hybrid WFR recertification, WFA-only credentials, or instructor authorization. Acceptance of prior training does not itself issue a new certificate.
