EMT and EMT Refresher
This program prepares you to obtain certification as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) with National Registry Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT).
EMTs work n a high stress environment and must have strong communication skills and
attention to detail.
At the same time, they must care about they people they are helping and learn to stay
calm as they work in life-saving situations. Do you have what it takes? EMT students
at Harford Community College train in a facility that has the most current equipment,
an on-site, fully functioning ambulance box, and an observation classroom designed
for critique of situational practice and procedures. Instructors are working professionals
who bring their real world experience and passion to each and every lesson.
