Adults Welcome

Professional Skills

Certification-based training for adults who want structured instruction from veteran cadre — whether you’re supporting FCRC, advancing your career, or building field-ready skills.

FCRC’s core program serves teens and young adults through the Exploring program. Professional Skills extends that same standard of instruction to adults through focused courses that end in recognized certification where applicable.

Course offerings rotate based on cadre availability and demand. Contact us for the current schedule and prerequisites.
