The Northeast Texas Community College Emergency Medical Services program is †offering a hybrid Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Basic Level course this fall. Students will complete the full semester of training online and then meet face-to-face for three days at the end of the term. Classes begin August 26.
The EMT Basic Level course is designed to prepare students to test to become a certified EMT. In addition to teaching vital lifesaving skills, the course covers areas such as basic life support, patient assessment, communication skills, and more.
"We are excited to offer EMT Basic in this new hybrid format. This will allow students who work full time or just need more flexibility to have the opportunity to participate," Mike Bobbitt, instructor, said.
Students who enroll in this program should have reliable access to the Internet and a computer with a webcam. Upon completion of the EMT Basic Level course, students will be prepared to work as an EMT, or they can continue the NTCC program to seek an Associate of Applied Science in Emergency Medical Services. The second level prepares students to become certified paramedics.
