What Our Learners Are Saying..

Experiences from CBRNE learners

I’m a strong supporter of the GW RevU CBRN Credential Program. It brings people from different career backgrounds together to build a foundation in CBRN preparedness and learn from one another. The knowledge and relationships gained through this program help us become better prepared to work together when these incidents occur.
Jason Kephart
George Washington University's CBRNE Certificate Program is a valuable investment in professional growth for both emerging professionals and seasoned leaders. After 31 years of military service in Emergency Management and CBRNE response, I found the program went well beyond refreshing my existing knowledge. The curriculum and capstone built upon my operational experience, providing new perspectives and practical applications for my leadership role in the private sector. Equally valuable are the lasting relationships with fellow cohort members that continue to foster collaboration and professional development. I highly recommend this program to professionals at any stage of their careers.
Doug Lang, CMSgt, USAF (Ret.)
Vice President, Business Development, Guardian Centers of Georgia, LLC
The CBRNE Credential Program broadened my understanding of complex and emerging threats and challenged me to look beyond familiar approaches. Having worked in military, law enforcement and international crisis environments, I particularly valued the connection between specialist knowledge, leadership and practical preparedness. It has strengthened what I bring to emergency management and first responder training.
Paul Biddle, MBE, CEM-ME, EMT-B
Lead Consultant and Trainer, Dirigo Readiness Group
Experience teaches us what we’ve encountered. Education challenges us to prepare for what we haven’t. After more than 40 years in emergency services and emergency management, the CBRNE Credential Program challenged me to think beyond my own experience. It brought together science, policy, leadership, and operational realities in ways that broadened my perspective and strengthened my approach to complex threats. The credential is valuable, but the learning is what lasts.
