Kitsap ARES is sponsoring an ACES Basic certification course in Bremerton, WA.  The course fee is $25 per student at the door and includes the student workbook, handouts and certificate.  The FEMA IS-100, IS-200 and IS-700 courses are required prior to certification and available online at http://training.fema.gov/is.  You may attend the course before completing the courses and you will receive your ACES completion certificate after you complete the FEMA courses.  Students are required to bring a radio and manual for programming practice.  The class focuses on performance and mastery of skills required for auxiliary communications support.  You will be operating and checking into a net, sending and receiving formal message traffic in multiple formats and programming your radio to new frequencies.  To complete the course, there is a multiple choise exam and a practical demonstration of learned skills.  Contact Chris at cq.kg6o@gmail.com with questions or for more information.
