The Emergency Medical Technician-Basic (EMT-B) Certificate Program is designed to prepare the student to become a competent entry-level EMT-B. This program is one (1) full semester in length, offered in the Fall and Spring semesters only. The EMS Technology Program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) in conjunction with the Committee on Accreditation of Educational Programs for the Emergency Medical Services Professions (CoAEMSP).

Purchase of professional liability insurance is required and included in the program cost. Uniforms are required at the clinical sites. Uniform requirements will be provided on the first day of class. Students are responsible for transportation to and from the clinical sites. All EMT-B students must be free of all facial hair prior to fit testing for the National Institute for Occupational Safety Hazards (NIOSH)-approved Respirator mask. This mask is required at all clinical sites. (Moustaches are permissible only if trimmed above the corners of the mouth.)

Upon successful completion of this program, the student will receive a Certificate of Completion from the EMS department and the necessary paperwork required to submit to the Florida State EMS Office for the Florida EMT-Basic Certification Examination.
