To all CT Wing pilots (and please pass along to your squadron commanders for dissemination to potential scanners and observers as well)

All of our instructors are graduates of PAMAS or NESA MAS, a few have instructed or have been staff at NESA for over 7years.
What usually takes years to complete, can be done in one week, including check rides. Your Wing gets quality-qualified aircrewman. The cost is $100.00 per student, out of pocket.

NER: CISM Course Update
There have been changes made to the upcoming CISM 3 day combined Group and Individual Peer Support Course set for 19, 20 21st of Feb 2010 to be held at Westover ARB in Ma.
The first change will be in the price for members to attend course. The NER in wanting to assist Wings in bringing CISM training to as many interested members as possible, including existing CISM Team members who in 2010 will need certificates in both Group and Individual Crisis Intervention, has decided to subsidize a portion of the cost for this NER sponsored CISM training.
Taking this combined course with ICISF at one of their regional conferences will cost approximately $600 for non ICISF members, over $500 for members. Each course individually taken with ICISF would cost over $300 plus travel and lodging.
All CAP Regions and Wings are now charging $125.pp to attend the 3 day combined course and have been instructed by the National CISM Team to phase out the 2 day CISM courses in favor of the 3 day combined course by 2010.
CAP requires current CIST members to refresh their Group Crisis Intervention certificate (1) once every three years IAW CAPR60-5. Taking this course will "re-set" your refresh date to the date of issuence of your new Group certificate as well as the Individual Cert.
Both Group and Individual certs will be required for basic CISM team membership in 2010. Both certs will soon be visible for review in e-service by Region and Wing CISOs, Mission IC, Mission Staff, to check CIST members currency while participating in a mission, so we strongly urge existing members and new perspective CIST members to take advantage of this probable one time low cost training.
The second change will be the way a member registers for course. Registration will now be on-line through Eventbrite and payment may be asked for at time of registration instead of payment by check. The details of this are still being worked out be NER staff and should be finalized by mid-to end of this week. More info will follow as soon as available.
Please do not send checks to NER CIS at this time. If we do on-line pay, any check that has already been received already will immediately be returned via USPS.
Billeting will be on base and is the responsibility of member. Contact Info for billeting will be forwarded to registrant prior to course date.
Thank you all for your interest in CAPs CISM program.
