I have HAZMAT awareness currently.....
Have taken Hazmat Ops/HAZWOPER in the past.....but these have since expired.

Does anyone know how i can get Hazmat Operations certificate if i am not currently on a fire department?

I was hoping there was a way to do it, but cant find one.

Specifically in Michigan

Any help is appreciated ....thanks!!

    without the proper refresher training (i.e. dept training) the certificates do expire. The same goes for Technician and awareness.

    In Cleveland, Cleveland States University teaches them to anyone that needs them. That being said, check the local colleges. If they have a fire program, not fire science, they should have them or know where to send you. Michigan State Police Academy is a huge hazmat training center.
