This course format documents 70 total hours and 70 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.
