Course details needed — eligibility not confirmed

The published record does not establish both hour totals. WMEC lists a minimum of 70 total hours and 45 in-person hours for WFR. Submit the missing documentation for a course-specific decision.

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.
