    Description
    Vocational Education 547CE is the first of two noncredit courses designed to provide a basis for gaining Emergency Medical Technician [EMT] certification. Students are given the opportunity to develop the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities required to successfully complete the 180 hours of instruction and qualify to take the National Registry EMT certification examination. This examination certifies students as EMTs for a period of two years. Upon successful completion of the National Registry EMT certification examination, an EMT may gain employment with an ambulance service, in a hospital emergency room or work in a clinical setting as well as being a prerequisite for firefighting or paramedic careers.
