Course-specific review

MTN accepts qualifying WFR and WFR recertification formats based on documented WMEC minimum hours. WFA enrollment has no prerequisite. WAFA, W-EMT, and other pathways need a course-specific review. Check your course.

Research depth: Program pages reviewed. Network relationships do not establish the facts or approvals of every local course. 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.
