EB: Emergency Medical Technician

The Emergency Medical Technician Certificate Program is designed to provide students with the skills and knowledge to pursue a career as an EMT. Successful completion of the program coursework qualifies students to sit for the State of Massachusetts EMT license examination. This State license is mandatory for all personnel who wish to pursue a career working on an ambulance. EMT licensure is also the first step in training for a career as a paramedic or with the fire service. EMT training is a valuable skill for those pursuing careers in the healthcare. EMT students gain practical experience by taking part in both hands-on activities and simulations.
