I am really wanting to get certified. Does anyone know if anyone offers a course near Dallas area? I can't seem to find one.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Have you tried contacting the director of SK in Fort-Worth. Her name is Dana something with a W. She asked me to take the course at my last check. I can't because it's too expensive. And I have a nursing baby I can't leave that many hours a day. If you can't find her e-mail on the SK site, I will pm it to you later. I'll have to look for it.
her name is Dana Walraven - she is awesome. Give me a few minutes to go through my emails - I think there is either one starting or just finished....back in a few.
ETA: ok bad news it was this past week in Plano Sept 9-12.
I double checked the website and nothing in N. Texas through the end of the year. I get emails from both Tarrant County and Collin County SK so if I hear anything I'll try to post.
I'm thinking once a year is probably enough to expect in most areas; let's be honest, in many areas it's hard to get funding and almost as hard to convince enough people to take the training. Be patient, though! It is worth it. And if you do contact the SK director, make sure you ask if there is ever a need for volunteers at seat checks to do things like run the check-in table or scribe. You can learn a lot about the process and the CPS community that way. (From what I hear the CPS community in DFW is small but dedicated, but running a very uphill battle...)
Oh no bummer! Plano is in my backyard pretty much. I am in Allen. Thanks so much for checking. I will contact Dana with SK and keep looking.
Well hello neighbor! I'm in Carrollton but work in Allen.
