What is the difference between the Hybrid Program and the In-Person Programs?
The key difference between our Hybrid Program and In-Person Programs is the learning format:
- Hybrid Program ($1200): This option combines online learning with in-person skills sessions. The majority of the coursework is completed online at your own pace, allowing for flexibility in your schedule. However, there are designated in-person days where you must come to campus for hands-on skills training and assessments.
- In-Person Programs ($1100): These programs, including our 6-week and 10-week night courses, require attendance on campus for the full duration of the class. You will complete all lectures, skills practice, and assessments in a traditional classroom setting, following a structured schedule.
Both options provide the same curriculum and lead to EMT certification, but the hybrid program is ideal for students who need more flexibility, while the in-person program is better for those who prefer a structured, classroom-based environment.
What is needed for first day of class?
On the first day of class you will need to bring paper, a writing utensil and any other basic school supplies. You should also bring the items from the list of items need for first day of class that you received from your registration email. If you did not get that or do not have everything on the list that is ok. Please still come to class and we will get you taken care of. Lastly, you should be in uniform if possible. A white polo shirt, blue dickies style work pants, boots, belt and a watch.
