Offered twice during the summer, each workshop covers similar core concepts while incorporating a seasonal focus. Participants who successfully complete the course have the option to earn a Certificate of Completion from the Santa Barbara County Fire Safe Council and be featured in the Council’s Certified Provider Listing.
