Description
Thank you for your interest in serving your community as an EMT! Please note that the pre-registration for the July cohort is closed. We ARE still accepting pre-registrations for future cohorts of the EMT program.
This program covers topics including patient assessment, cardiac arrest management, airway management, patient immobilization, diabetic emergencies, strokes and seizures, and information about the emergency response system. Students are required to attend all classes and lab sessions throughout the program to demonstrate their competency in numerous psychomotor skills, complete testing requirements, and prepare for the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) exam to be certified.
Details for our next course are currently being finalized. By completing the pre-registration form, you’ll be added to our interest list and will receive updates about the next available course and the Fisdap entrance exam requirement for enrollment.
This registration does not guarantee a seat in the upcoming EMT course.

The exam includes questions on:

To pass, students must score at least 70% in each subject area.
