Typically, students are required to study at least 60-80 additional hours during the entire class period, maybe more for some students. Students will not be able to just show up, attend the class time, and pass this course without this extra effort. We encourage study groups and will allow study groups to use our facilities to study when available. Tutoring services are also available, and the first 10 hours are free.

Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) provide out of hospital BLS (Basic Life Support) emergency medical care and transportation for critical and emergent patients who access the emergency medical services (EMS) system.
EMTs have the basic knowledge and skills to assess a patient's condition and to manage emergencies such as those related to respiratory, cardiac, or trauma incidents. EMTs generally function as part of a comprehensive EMS response system, under medical oversight. EMTs perform interventions with the basic equipment typically found on an ambulance.
EMTs are a critical link between the scene of an emergency and the health care system and are commonly found employed by both private and public ambulance services, municipal EMS agencies, governments, hospitals, and fire departments.
