This document is a Course Guide to help course administrators, coordinators and instructors in setting up and administering a NEAR/CB Channel 9 monitor training program. Much of the content of this training course is presented in a 30-minute training film, "Help is NEAR", which dramatizes several common highway related emergency situations and demonstrates how the Channel 9 monitor can cut response time.
