EMS Foundation Certificate
New Program
Emergency Medical Services (125000)
06/01/19
With Emergency Medical Responder being a recommended preparatory course for EMT, by completing both courses in sequence one would have a strong foundation for starting an EMS career. The EMT is the beginning level for professional emergency medical response personnel. It is the minimum preparation required to staff an ambulance and most 911 medical response vehicles. EMR and EMT can be completed in one class each. Classes in this area meet California State EMS Authority and ICEMA regulations.
The Emergency Medical Services Foundation Certificate is a two-semester program that runs in the Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall sessions.
