Emergency Medical Technician

The Emergency Medical Technician: Basic course prepares students to take the National Registry Examination. Successfully passing the exam provides the student with National Registry certification as an EMT. This certification is required as a prerequisite for the Fire Academy, as well as for students who want to continue on to a paramedic training program.

Students are required to possess a Basic Life Support certification from the American Heart Association prior to the start of class. Students will also need to submit proof of immunizations for the required ambulance ride-along assignment no later than their first ride-along.
