certificate and will be eligible to apply and take the
National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians exam to become
a certified EMT.
Can I take classes online or face-to-face?

hands-on learning.
Students pursuing the emergency medical services associate degree
can take classes face-to-face and online.
How do I decide which location to take the EMT basic course?

with their schedule.

geographically.
What type of financial assistance is available to help me pay for
college?
The EMT basic certificate is eligible for the Talent Ready Grant
available to support students who have financial need, are
enrolled in a short-term certificate that may be completed in
less than one year (less than 30 credit hours), and leads to a
certification or a workforce credential in an in-demand job or
career. The grant is intended to assist in covering the cost of
tuition and fees (up to $2000) and is a limited fund that will be
