LCCC Holds EMT Classes for Fall 2017

LCCC Holds EMT Classes for Fall 2017

Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC) will hold Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) programs for individuals who are likely to respond to pre-hospital emergencies or those considering a medical career. Upon successful completion, the student will be eligible to test for the National Registry EMT credential. Minimum age of 16 is required.

It is highly recommended that interested candidates attend the free information sessions for the desired class location. Acceptance into the EMT program is selective and is based on minimum competency in reading and math assessments conducted at the class site. Additional requirements include the submission of a physician release form, proof of medical insurance, criminal record clearance and child abuse clearance.

EMT Basic classes are held at two off campus locations in Allentown. Cetronia Ambulance Corporation located at 4300 Broadway will host a free information session on August 12 for the EMT Basic class beginning August 27. The Emergency Medicine Institute (EMI) located at 2100 Mack Boulevard will host free information sessions on August 7, 12, and 15 for the EMT Basic class beginning September 5. Pre-registration for information sessions is requested.
