This program will prepare you to obtain certification as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) with National Registry Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT).
Those who enter this program have interest in health care and helping people. They work well in a high stress environment and must have strong communication skills and attention to details. EMT students learn to be calm under pressure as they work in life-saving situations. Students training at Harford Community College have use of an on-site, fully functioning ambulance box and an observation classroom designed for critique of situational practice and procedures.
