The EMT program will provide students with the required knowledge and skills to meet all National Registry and Connecticut requirements and upon successful completion of the course, students will be eligible to take the National Registry exam. 

 

The course requires an extensive amount of reading and comprehension.  Classes require over 150 hours or training along with additional observation time on either an ambulance or in the emergency department. 

 

As an EMT you will be prepared to respond to medical emergencies, assess ill and injured individuals, administer life saving interventions and transport patients to the hospital.​​
