The EMT-Basic is trained in all phases of basic life support. The didactic and clinical experience instructs the participants in stabilizing non-life-threatening situations, trauma assessment management, endotracheal intubation, and automatic external defibrillation (AED).  We typically run two EMT-Basic programs a year.  Please visit the "Class Request" page to submit your information for a list of interest.  We will then email or call you when a class is scheduled and the dates are set.

Upon completion of the course students will be eligible to take the National Registry practical and written examinations.  Passing in all three categories is required to get your EMT-Basic certification.

• Be at least 18 years of age by completion of course
• Possess a valid drivers license

The registration fee is due at the time of registration and at least two weeks prior to the start date of the class.  The registration fee covers the cost of a background check, ID Badge, and shirt that students are required to wear to class.

Book cost is due on or before the first day of class so that students can take the books home with them.

Tuition payment plans are available for students who are not being covered by a department.  For the EMT-Basic class, students are required to half their tuition paid by the mid-term and the remaining balance paid before they take their final exam and graduate.

The FISDAP and NR Testing Fees are paid directly to the respective companies.  The FISDAP fee covers the cost of scheduling your ride time and also pre-NR Testing practice exams.  The NR Testing Fee is paid so you can take your written examination.
