EMS 2201 Emergency Medical Technician - Basic
This course is designed to prepare students for the overall roles and responsibilities of the Emergency Medical Technician.

The course also includes training in the use of all equipment required to accomplish this role. Enrollment priority is given to people working for an ambulance service or those who will work for an ambulance service upon course completion. A student must be 18 years of age and complete the class with a final grade of 80% or above to be permitted to take the State EMT certification exam or National Registry Certification Exam.
