Please complete two tasks | |||
== Basic NET Training Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) == | |||
===== Q: If I do not complete the prerequisites before class, should I drop out of the class? ===== | |||
No. You should complete them as soon as you can, but do not drop out of class for that reason. | |||
===== Q: If I miss a day of class, or know I'll miss a day of class, should I drop out of the class? ===== | |||
No. Take the classes you can and make up the ones you missed when you have a makeup opportunity. Note that you will not graduate and be activated as a NET, however, until you have completed all class units. | |||
===== Q: I have a conviction on my background check. Can I still participate in Basic NET training? ===== | |||
Yes. Except for persons who are an active menace, anyone can participate in NET ''training''. The criminal background check is conducted to determine if you can become an Active NET volunteer after you complete the training. Having an offense on record also does not necessarily exclude a person from becoming an Active NET volunteer; it depends on the offense and how long ago it took place. Please review PBEM's [[policy on criminal background checks]] for more detail. | |||
===== Q: I am a person with a disability (physical or cognitive). Can I still participate in Basic NET training? ===== | |||
Yes; you are encouraged to participate and become an Active NET volunteer. '''''Every''one''' has a role in disaster preparedness, response, and recovery; on average, 12% of all NET volunteers self-identify as a person with a physical or cognitive disability. | |||
