Program Overview
Due to high demand, all Fire Academy of the South EMT classes are fully enrolled through Summer 2027. We will not be conducting any EMT information sessions until later in 2027, when future enrollment opportunities are expected to become available.
This FSCJ Continuing Workforce Education Workforce Certificate program is limited access. Our EMT program prepares graduates to function as entry-level Emergency Medical Technicians. The course utilizes classroom instruction, hands-on skills labs and field experiences to train students to become emergency medical responders who respond to a variety of medical and trauma situations. Upon completion of the program, graduates are eligible to apply to sit for the National Registry Emergency Medical Technician (NREMT) certification exam to qualify for certification as a Florida EMT. This course is a prerequisite for FFP0030 (Firefighter I).
