EMT Course Details & Registration
The Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Course is a hybrid course that includes an online / independent study segment and an in-person laboratory segment. The in-person segment of the course is delivered weekly on Tuesday evenings from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM. All lab sessions will take place in the Northeast Classrooms. There are 12 required class sessions, each 4 hours in length. All class meetings are face-to-face in a “lab” setting. Students work in small groups to accomplish predefined learning objectives under the guidance of instructional staff.
Preparation for the lab sessions is essential in order to maximize the experience for the students. Assigned homework will be due weekly prior to attending the lab session. Attendance at each of the lab sessions is required in order to complete the course. Evaluation of student preparation is accomplished via a weekly quiz and/or exam that is completed upon entry into the laboratory. In addition to preparation and attendance, student performance is assessed at each lab session. Satisfactory performance is required in order to complete the course.
Instructional staff will be in place to conduct each lab sessions. Additional lab dates may be included at the end of the course in order to practice for the National Registry Psychomotor Skills Exam.
Tuition is set at $1,000 and includes all online learning resources, uniform shirt, background checks and the urine drug screen. You will receive a PDF version of the textbook. There are no hidden or “add on” fees. The tuition does not include National Registry testing fees so that students are not asked to pay for those expenses in advance. We work hard to keep our tuition cost as affordable as possible while delivering a fantastic value to our students. While the Fire District supports the Program in many ways, the financial resources for the Program come from student tuition.
