The published record does not establish both hour totals. WMEC lists a minimum of 16 total hours and 16 in-person hours for WFA. You may enroll in a full MTN WFA course regardless of previous training. A red course assessment does not prevent enrollment. Complete the full course and its assessments to earn a new MTN certificate.
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.
